Visualization is capable of vividly presenting data and information in a narrative way, promoting the study of narrative visualization. We survey the state-of-the-art of narrative visualization, analyze existing cases, and proposes a narrative visualization classification method by combining narrative perspective theory and transition technology theory in visualization. We also briefly describe the evaluation method, and analyze the application scenarios of narrative visualization. We design a case with the characteristics of narrative visualization, and present the future prospect.
