VCL Sketches
VCL Sketches are short visualization and design experiments we will be periodically sharing online.
SaNDVis
SaNDVis is a visual social network analytics tool for the enterprise. By integrating social position, evidence, and facets, SaNDVis supports people-centric tasks like expertise location, team building, and team coordination.
ManyEyes.js
ManyEyes.js provides interactive data visualizations using the native web technologies of JavaScript and HTML5. The visualizations are based on those developed for the Many Eyes web site, and they support the same rich animation and interaction features. ManyEyes.js makes it trivial to add visualizations to any webpage - no plugins or programming required.
Many Bills: A Visual Bill Explorer
Many Bills is a web based visualization that aims to make congressional legislation easier to digest. It presents bills from the House and Senate organized into collections and split into sections which are color coded and labelled to indicate what topic each section is about. It also provides a set of features designed to make it easier to find interesting or unusual parts of bills and communicate your findings to others.
Many Eyes
Many Eyes is a public web site that allows users to gather data, visualize it, and discuss their visualizations. We use the site as an experimental platform to test our hypotheses about the ability of visualizations to spur communication and social interaction, and how that activity may yield new insights into data.
Past Projects
Many Eyes Wikified
Many Eyes Wikified is an experiment in using a simple wiki language to collaboratively edit information dashboards. You can add data to Wikified, either embedded directly in a page or linked from an external website. You can then easily create a number of rich visualizations of Wikified content, embedding them side-by-side on separate pages or even right next to the data.
Chromogram
A chromogram is a deceptively simple way to visualize long sequences of text. We used chromograms to analyze the behavior of Wikipedia users, finding patterns in histories of tens of thousands of edits.
History Flow
History Flow is a tool for visualizing dynamic, evolving documents and the interactions of multiple collaborating authors. In its current implementation, History Flow is being used to visualize the evolutionary history of wiki pages on Wikipedia.
History Flow is available for free on the IBM AlphaWorks site. Learn more about the project on the History Flow site .
Book Voyager
The Book Voyager visualization displays book sales trends over time. It presents trends colored by topic and allows users to navigate the hierarchy of book categories while still displaying each individual subject within a larger group.
