Illustrate the differences in health performance
The different ‘Health Wheels’ distil 32 different health indicators across 9 geographical regions. The wheels act as visual barometers for
the health of each region, in order to provide
users with an intuitive way of scanning through
all the indicators. A map of England communicates the national perspective in response to the
wheel, with a colour code identifying which regions score ‘better than’, ‘worse than’ or ‘average’
compared to the national mean. For the regional
view, segments on the wheel are color-coded according to the performance of each indicator.

Network view of the Max Planck Institutes and their connections
This multi-touch installation reveals how Max
Planck Institutes collaborate with each other,
and with their international partners. The size
of the circles represents the number of scientific publications for each institute, and the width
of the connecting lines the number of jointly
published papers between two institutes. The
map of Max Planck institutes on the right
shows you their respective locations, whereas
the world map on the bottom shows the locations of external collaboration partners.

WIKIWEB

by Friends of the Web

Visual and interactive way to explore knowledge of Wikipedia
The app’s interface consists of 2 separate panes,
one with a calm rendition of a Wikipedia article, the other with a weighed network graph of
all connections of that article with any other
article on Wikipedia. Interestingly, these network maps can be shared through email or
Twitter. As there already exist plenty of other
Wikipedia readers on the market, the key differentiating feature is that of visualizing the
connections, and using the resulting graph as
an open-ended way to browse through more,
and potentially unexpected, articles.

PLANETARY

by Bloom Studio

Explore your music collection
Created using Cinder framework, allows to navigate dynamically through informations about
recording artists. Every star in Planetary represents an artist from your music library. Albums
are planets, they orbit around their artist star.
The planet surface is derived from the album
cover art. No two planets are the same. Tracks
are moons, they orbit at a speed based on the
length of the track. The size of the moon is based
on the play count. Artist are filtered by Letter to
create a constellation of highlighted stars.

HITLANTIS

by Bloom Studio

Exploration of the activity streams of your friends
Hitlantis allows people to explore their vast
online music collection. The bubble map is divided into different musical genres, each distinguished by a different color. Individual artists ‘orbit’ the core as unique bubbles, which
increase in size as their content is shared, liked
or bought. So the more ‘attention’ an artist
receives, the larger it grows, and the closer it
gravitates toward the center of the ‘universe’.
Hitlantis shows visually what is going on: for
instance, the pulsating artist balls reveal what
bands are currently played by the music player.

BIOLOGIC

by Bloom Studio

Exploration of the activity streams of your friends
Bloom has chosen a metaphor of biological
cells, to graphically and dynamically convey
one’s social network and the activities that
happen inside of it. As a result, it’s graphical
style is unique, to say the least.
In terms of visual representation, each ‘cell’ in
Biologic represents a unique person. People
who have posted more content recently have
bigger cells. Each glowing ‘particle’ inside a cell
represents a recent update from that respective
person. The more a particle is moving around,
the more retweets/favorites/likes it has.
