VisualEyes is web-based authoring tool developed at the University of Virginia to weave images, maps, charts, video and data into highly interactive and compelling dynamic visualizations. VisualEyes enables scholars to present selected primary source materials and research findings while encouraging active inquiry and hands-on learning among general and targeted audiences. It communicates through the use of dynamic displays – or "visualizations" – that organize and present meaningful information in both traditional and multimedia formats, such as audio-video, animation, charts, maps, data, and interactive timelines. The effective use of the visualizations can reveal and illuminate relationships between multiple kinds of information across time and space far more effectively than words alone.
sortable list of tools for data analysis and data visualization. includes mapping, skill level, platform, etc. Accompanying article. Computerworld, By Sharon Machlis. April 20, 2011.
Number Picture is a web application that enables you to come up with, easily create, and share fresh and interesting tools for visualizing data - that others can then use to visualize their own data. These tools we call templates and they take in anybody else's data, shake it around a bit, add some sugar and spice, and then output it structured in a certain way in the form of a picture that hopefully is nice to look at, keeps the viewer engaged, and provides a refreshing change to all the millions and billions of bar graphs and pie charts that we see in our everyday lives. We provide you with the tools to easily create your own templates and it is our wish to make it as easy as possible for you to do this. All templates that are created are free for anyone to use and all Number Pictures made are freely available for anybody to view. If privacy is an issue for you: you can also sign up for a premium membership and keep your Number Pictures private.
Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction. Protovis is free and open-source, provided under the BSD License. It uses JavaScript and SVG for web-native visualizations; no plugin required (though you will need a modern web browser)! Although programming experience is helpful, Protovis is mostly declarative and designed to be learned by example.
