Data Visualization

Data Visualization rocks. Some of the most outrageously cool imagery comes from a discipline coming into it's own in ways unimagined prior to the advent of the net.


Emags like Smashing are posting excellent articles covering this fascinating discipline as visualizing complex data is essential if one is to better understand how content is handled on the web. Another great resource for visualization is Visual Complexity, a site dedicated to showing how complex data sets are constructed to enable users to better manage online projects. Click on the graphic below and be prepared to be blown away.

Last but not least, check out the Human Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland to see examples of visualization projects done by students. The quality of output will amaze you.


'Nuff said.
