Ex-Apple Designer Creates Teaching UI That "Kills Math" Using Data Viz We hear a lot of design manifestos around here. But Bret Victor's stuck out: He wants to kill math. He's no Luddite, though -- he thinks mathematics is one of the most powerful, transcendent ways humans have for understanding and changing the world. What he wants to kill is math's interface: opaque, abstract, unfamiliar, hard. "The power to understand and predict the quantities of the world should not be restricted to those with a freakish knack for manipulating abstract symbols," he writes. Now he's created a prototype iPad interface that turns differential equations into something that doesn't feel math-ey at all: visual, intuitive, and touchable. Equations and squiggly symbols aren't math at all: They're merely our interface. Victor's key insight is that what we think of as "math" -- equations, numerals, operators, variables, those squiggly symbols filling up millions of blackboards and textbooks -- isn't math at all: it's merely the interface.
How We Visualized Life After Fukushima on Datavisualization.ch The Starting Point During the first two weeks of March 2013, Interactive Things and the Swiss newspaper “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” (NZZ) collaborated on a web publication about the Fukushima nuclear disaster that took place in Japan in 2011. The reporter Marcel Gyr and photographer Christoph Bangert revisited the same people they met two years earlier and interviewed them again to hear their personal accounts on how their lives have changed during that time. Our task was to create an online reading experience to present the long form text, the photos and the video footage in a sincere but pleasant way. To support the readers in their understanding of the text, we created several visualizations to clarify and point out important facts. Because we wanted the visual and interactive design to reflect the contents of the story, we waited until the reporter returned from Japan before starting any work. The Process The Result This project was realized by Interactive Things.

Flowing Media: Your Data Has Something To Say Top 5 Affordable Tools To Make Infographics In A Snap What makes infographics so popular? Jennifer Gregory, a content marketing writer and blogger, says that infographics have become more prominent because, “Each of us learns differently. A lot of people are visual learners. Plus, Infographics are 30 times more likely to be read than a normal text article, according to HubSpot. To effectively produce an infographic, large companies turn to their creative team, but small businesses might not have the same resources. 1. Piktochart comes complete with pre-programmed themes, more than 1,000 images to choose from and the ability to share your completed infographic.

ertdfgcvb Wind Map An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software. Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat, or fight wildfires :-) If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser. Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database. If you're looking for a weather map, or just want more detail on the weather today, see these more traditional maps of temperature and wind.
