“Neue Sichtbarkeit” in Weave design magazine 06.11 Together with Cedric Kiefer, I wrote an article on collecting and visualizing geospatial data, and how it influences the perception of our environment. After a very brief cartographic history, we argue that the massive generation of geo data in recent years might lead to information overload, yet opens [...] Read more – ‘Article on Geo Visualization’.
An interactive multitouch visualization of relations between geo-positioned locations. Our interactive tabletop visualization is intended to be a walk-up-and-use system. In our case study on research collaboration the targeted audience are attendees at scientific conferences. One of our main design goals for visualization and multitouch interaction was to facilitate first-time users to walk-up-and-use the system without training.

For a half-year sabbatical, I am visiting the MIT Senseable City Lab. Since September I am staying with the lab in Cambridge, MA, and will travel to Singapore after the Visweek conference to work on the Live Singapore project. The objective of the project is to give people visual and tangible access to real-time information [...] Read more – ‘Visiting the MIT Senseable City Lab’.
Exploding Menu enables high precision selection of geo-located markers on multitouch interfaces. In a geo-visualization, in which the visual scatter shall show spatial patterns, places must be displayed at their original geo-locations. In contrast to non-geographic layout strategies, where a positioning algorithm can prevent occlusions, this may result in overlapping markers for places in close [...] Read more – ‘Exploding Menu’.
