Visualizations can be used to make sense of massive amounts of data. As Matthias Shapiro says visualizations turn information into understanding. Designers use color, size, location, time, and networks to convey a message.
Matthias Shapiro shares his visualizations at Designer WPF and Veracity. Here are some links to visualizations from his talk:
Slide 11 (Color Visualization Example): Map of the Market – stock market visualization
Slide 13 (Location Visualization Example): Map of flights in the US in a 24 hour period. This actually uses color to indicate altitude (darker is higher, lighter is lower, but I didn't have time to go into that in my talk.
Slide 15 (Network Visualization Example): My Facebook friends as graphed by Nexus Graphs
You can find the rest of the links on his blog. This talk was filmed at Ignite SLC.
The Ignite Show will feature a different speaker every Tuesday for free. It's available on YouTube (user: Ignite), on our Ignite site and via iTunes. It is being released under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
The format of Ignite is 20 slides that auto-advance after 15 seconds. When you are on stage giving an Ignite talk this can be quite exhilarating (sometimes terrifying). The added adrenalin really adds to the presentation and I think that will come through on the small screen.
