Visualization is the graphical representation of data or information on mobile devices. Visualization makes the understanding of data or information easy as compare to non-visualized data. To perform visualization onmobile devices different types of data may use like text, picture, maps, physical objects, abstract data etc. Mainly visualization is categorized in two areas of visualization that is, scientific visualization and information visualization. Scientific visualization refers to some specific type of data like physical data and it is used for computermodeling and simulation. Information visualization refers to abstract data and used in business and finance, administration, digitalmedia and other abstract concepts. The physical and abstract data is only one classification but there are others classification like static and dynamic data, structured and unstructured data, or hierarchical and non-hierarchical data classification. Other than information visualization and scientific visualization there are different applications of visualization like educational, knowledge and product visualization. As the visualized data can be understood more easily so visualization can be used for learning on mobile devices. This paper focuses on use of visualization in learning on mobile devices and also compares the visualization techniques form-learning.
