Visual Complexity. JORGE AYALA. The Geotaggers' World Atlas. Travel Time Tube Map (Built with Processing) Click on a station to see the London Underground map reorganise around the times of travel from that station. Shortest paths are used to place the other stations - radius is proportional to time to travel, and angle should be correct for as-the-crow-flies direction on a map. The concentric circles are at 10 minute intervals. Press 'g' to get back to the geographical tube map. NB:- times may not be accurate! This is really only a proof of concept, and to me it looks like I'm reporting times which are slightly too fast. You'll have to factor in interchange times and possibly times when the train is stopped if you want to actually make use of this in its current form.
Inspired by Oskar Karlin's reworking of the tube map around the time to travel from Elephant and Castle, and Rod McLaren's subsequent sketch 10 Minutes tube travel from Oxford Circus. Lots of things that need improving... Would be nice: Wishlist: Source code: tube_map_travel_times_js Connection OSMMercator Route Station. Information aesthetics. 6 Gorgeous Twitter Visualizations. Ah, Twitter.
It's impossible to get away from it; it seems that everyone stopped whatever they were doing B.T. (before Twitter) and switched to doing cool stuff for and around the service, and this includes data visualizations. In the past, we've profiled unique Twitter-related visualizations, but now we're after sheer beauty. And that's exactly what we've found; here are six gorgeous Twitter visualizations. Know of a beautiful Twitter visualization? 1. Although it's a bit too slow for everyday usage and functions better as pure eye candy, Social Collider is actually quite an interesting tool. 2.
Just Landed is a beautiful geo-visualization of tweets containing the words "Just landed in... ". 3. In its exploration of Twitter, Twistori goes back to basics: to what we love, hate, believe, think, feel and wish. 4. Twitt3D would have been much better looking if it weren't for the shabby overall page design, but it's still a very interesting visual tool. 5. 6. Honorable mention - TweetWheel.
