Good News Visualisation

Hans Roslin presents some great news about the decline in infant mortality. While this is great news full stop, I do love the way he presented the information. He uses impacting dynamic graphs to illustrate the downward trends. It also succinctly illustrates the relationship between infant mortality, family sizes and the education of women in society. These are key factors in future sustainability and quality of life issues for the human race as a whole, and I believe he uses visualisations to communicate this well.

Web Two Point Gazillion

This is a vision from Mozilla labs regarding web browsing in the future. My guess is that it has many applications in the area of process and service visualisation. Note the use of a 3D Mouse Like interface - like the one available here.

Fujitsu Process Mining Tools

Got this link in an email from BPTrends about Fujitsu software for process discovery. The article includes a messy diagram illustrating the links between each event that has occurred in the process system. This diagram is then filtered to produce a final process diagram. Looks like a good piece of software, but I have to again comment that the representations are 2D, and still wonder to myself whether a 3D large graph rendering approach would help the users in choosing filtering options. If the diagram is to be believed, they do not even use colour to highlight patterns! However, I have not used the software, so this may be a feature that has not been highlighted in the article. Might get a demo of the software just to see...
