“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’.
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’.
A radial range slider to select dates in circular, recurring data sets. It can be used for repetitive event data, such as the time of day, weeks, or seasons, but also for other circular data, such as direction angles, etc. To adapt the range, the user can drag either the start or the end handle. [...] Read more – ‘A radial range slider’.
A multiple donut diagram, with smooth changeover between the different values of the same entry. Sort of a radial time series visualization. There are many valid reasons to not use pie or donut diagrams, but on the other hand, it might be useful for specific data sets or specific applications. Transistions & Interactions Optionally, the [...] Read more – ‘Stacked Donut for historical data comparison’.
Back in June Flickr did a major redesign, with larger image displays, a cleaner interface, and lots of interaction improvements. One of the more subtle updates is the way the small map displays the location of a geo-tagged photo. The closer the user moves the mouse to the marker, the more the map zooms in.
