Data Visualization. Infographics & Data Visualizations - Visual.ly. Data Visualizations, Challenges, Community. Data Visualization and Infographics Examples and Resources. Things wordy, geeky, and webby Since taking a class that discussed Edward Tufte‘s work, I’ve been fascinated by turning information into visual data.
His site contains many examples that you could easily spend hours on the site. The Visualizing Player on Datavisualization. Yesterday Visualizing.org launched version 1.0 of their Visualizing Player, a media player designed specifically for embedding and displaying infographics and data visualizations.
Perhaps its best feature is that it’s nearly agnostic of the visualization format. Right now it supports HTML5, Java, Flash, PDF, Video, Image, and whole websites. Functionality of the player adapts to each format; interactive visualizations and videos are launched via a play button, high resolution images can be zoomed and panned to explore details. It also features a full-screen mode which launches a seperate browser window and is especially suited for interactive visualizations. It allows the user to favorite (account required), share and embed, and download a visualization.
