In "Forex Marathon", users can pick a currency & have it compete in a foot race against other (hopefully weaker) currencies. In "Globe Trader", the trading portfolio is managed by forging relations with other currencies on the map of the world. In "Forex Match" 2 currencies go one-on-one in a tug of rope against each other.
my goal with this blog is to explore some of the assumptions underlying "popular" visualization design and reception, in the hopes of uncovering some practical, unifying principles that could be applied to future design. Or, at the very least, draw attention to some of the existing design issues in the hopes that awareness and discussion of them will result in more informed design.
Cool visualization tools for both numerical and text data.
Gapminder is a non-profit venture for development and provision of free software that visualise human development. This is done in collaboration with universities, UN organisations, public agencies and non-governmental organisations.
TEAL Simulation Frameworkis an environment for creating, presenting, and controlling simulations representing physical and mathematical concepts. It is open source.
