Small Design Firm NRC: Naturalist Tables, Raleigh, North Carolina, 2012 Small Design Firm developed two completely custom interactive tables for the Nature Research Center at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. Visitors to the museum are invited to pick up actual specimens from the museum collection and place them on to the table surface. There are over a hundred available specimens, ranging from mounted insects and preserved amphibians, to mammal study skins and bird skulls. Project Details NRC: Storm Central & Real Time Weather Station, Raleigh, North Carolina, 2012 The Storm Central desk features three stations at which visitors can track a hurricane or make their own weather forecast. The Tracking activity provides an introduction to the anatomy of a hurricane and explores the multitude of factors that contribute to their unpredictable nature. Nearby, a model of a weather station shows how meteorologists collect data in the field. Project Details Project Details Project Details Project Details

The visualization is a stacked time-series visualization of the U.S. labor force, broken down by gender. Here the percentage of the work force in military jobs is shown. (b) A set of graphical annotation tools. abstract This paper describes mechanisms for asynchronous collaboration in the context of information visualization, recasting visualizations as not just analytic tools, but social spaces. materials and links citation
ガスバス Well-formed data Amnon P5 – Experiments with Processing by Amnon Owed designplaygrounds.com Looking 4 data visualization Generative art and data visualization 40 Essential Tools and Resources to Visualize Data One of the most frequent questions I get is, "What software do you use to visualize data?" A lot of people are excited to play with their data, but don't know how to go about doing it or even start. Here are the tools I use or have used and resources that I own or found helpful for data visualization – starting with organizing the data, to graphs and charts, and lastly, animation and interaction. Organizing the Data by sleepy sparrow Data are hardly ever in the format that you need them to be in. PHP was the first scripting language I learned that was well-suited for the Web, so I'm pretty comfortable with it. Python Most computer science types - at least the ones I've worked with - scoff at PHP and opt for Python mostly because Python code is often better structured (as a requirement) and has cooler server-side functions. MySQL When I have a lot of data - like on the magnitude of the tends to hundreds of thousands - I use PHP or Python to stick it in a MySQL database. Ah, good old R.
