Appsterdam InnoViz. Interactive Visualizations. I. Introduction We learn from out failure in order to maximize success …. It sounds good especially if you think what is most important in characterizing an entrepreneurship mindset is. I started a couple of months ago to focus on incubators and start-ups with a picture in my mind to identify and thus grasp the network of entrepreneurs in France.

Being really interested by the topic and fan of entrepreneurship, I initially intended to draw a first mapping in order to realize if we have a dense network of entrepreneurs in France or if the migration flow of French citizens moving to Silicon Valley or London is still increasing. I wanted to form my own opinion as regards the situation in social networks and in the meantime demonstrate the added value of these networks in acquiring knowledge on a given topic.

Let’s start to focus on localization. Continue reading. Christopher Warnow. World Bank Dataviz. DATAINTERFACES. User-Centered Data Visualization. Part 4 – The Experiment - D3. Visualizing data instead of presenting them as ASCII in lists or tables makes sense because we’re much better in processing graphical than numerical data (the so-called pictorial superiority effect). Also, graphical visualizations are considered to be more attractive. While most people agree on this, there is a war out there between folks saying that data visualizations have to become more attractive and creative because that’s what the market wants and folks that insist that any visualization that is not according to ergonomic standards is a bad visualization. So the question seems to be: are principles of good data visualization timeless or do they go with the zeitgeist? Take pie charts, for example. They have been around for over 200 years (invented by William Playfair).

We did a little experiment.

BOLIDES - Visualizing meteorites. Foursquare Time Machine turns your trips into pretty infographics. Given the recent concerns in the media regarding personal privacy, services designed to make your private life more transparent and shareable will likely have to work harder than ever to convince new users to willingly give up their data. Foursquare, a company that has been facing this challenge for years, has just unveiled a new tool that could make the process of sharing your private information a bit more fun. Foursquare Time Machine is a data visualization tool that takes your check-ins and colorfully animates them on an interactive map. Each check-in on the map is represented by a color-coded pulse circle and connected by a line that leads to the next check-in. During the playback of a user's timeline, any one point can be zoomed in on and examined, turning the display from an overhead view to a horizon view, with all your pinpoint check-ins still visible as colorful arches spread across the map.
