The competition of the ImagineCup 2007 is very hard. Lots of people invested lots of time and money to develop and design new interfaces. I saw lots of innovative ideas. Some are extremly innovative other are improvments of existings ones. The main goal for the interfaces in the ImagineCup 2007 is to improve education.
I’ll show […]
The ImagineCup is a global competition about informatics between students all over the world. The provider of the ImageineCup is Microsoft. This competition is divided into small competitions addressing different aspects of informatics like algorithm, web development, embedded systems, interface design, etc.
In my case I applied for “Interface Design” and I’ll propose my master thesis […]
I implemented two different ways of placing graph nodes or tree nodes using a radial layout. First I’ll the radial layout and afterwards I describe the idea of both distributions and finishing with the conclusion based on a visualization example.
Radial Layout:
The idea of radial layout is quite simple. As have a tree or a graph […]
I started to play World of Warcraft (WoW), a MMORG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game), a half year ago. Now, it’s time to recapitulate the time i spent in this virtual game world.
The name of my avatar is Lúthien, a female druid beeing a night elve. Playing WoW, you have to choose in what way […]
Based on the graph-browser JSaurus, I implemented Wikigraph, a simple graph-based visualization of the content of Wikipedia.org. Every node in the graph represents a topic. Topics are connected to each other, if and only if one topic refers to the other one.
moreA readable graph respects aesthetic criteria of syntatic validity, perceptual organization and aesthetic optimality as proposed by Kosak et al. in 1994. Some algorithms focus on minimizing edge crossing whilst other focus on other aesthetic criteria.
Spring-embedder models and its variants fits aesthetic criteria. But which of them is the best?
First of all: It’s not possible to get directly content from other servers outside the domain with XMLHttpRequest. But if there is no direct way, it must have an undirect way . Well the solution is simply but genius. You call a local proxy, telling it to load the content from the other server […]
more A graph is nothing else then a thesaurus: Both contains nodes and connections or relations. Therefore I thought about visualizing the link relations between a homepages websites. I took my own homepage cPOEt.net as test data set to create a sitemap with JSaurus, a JavaScript software to visualize a graph or thesaurus.
The node sites […]
Jsaurus is a visualization tool to display a thesaurus with its nodes and relations in between. Jsaurus is written in JavaScript and DHTML. The goal of Jsaurus is to provide a piece of softare that manages every type of thesaurus and manages the visualization and behavior of nodes and relations too.
Jsaurus is build with the […]
