In 1973, Herman Chernoff introduced a visualization technique to 
      illustrate trends in multidimensional data. His <EM>Chernoff Faces</EM> 
      were especially effective because they related the data to facial 
      features, something which we are used to differentiating between. 
      Different data dimensions were mapped to different facial features, for 
      example the face width, the level of the ears, the radius of the ears, the 
      length or curvature of the mouth, the length of the nose, etc.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://kspark.kaist.ac.kr/Human%20Engineering.files/Chernoff/Chernoff%20Faces.htm"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD width="20%" align="center"><APPLET width="100" height="100" code="ChernoffFaceApplet.class">
