RENCI pioneering the visualization industry with innovative interfaces

Today I flew through a digitally enhanced simulation of an ear canal, looked at 3D manipulations of static 2D images, and watched a seamless video projected simultaneously on four surrounding walls. The Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) is based in North Carolina and oddly enough it was my first visit to this extremely innovative and eye-opening interactive institute. Not only did it get me excited about information visualization, it gave me tons of inspiration for the future of immersive and interactive multimedia.

USA Today tracks US federal taxes in customizable graphic

Last week, USA Today launched "Tracking taxes: A look back at tax rates and spending." Although it doesn't cover state or local taxes, this tool enables Americans to get a quick snapshot of how their federal taxes are being spent, and how that has changed over time. The user interface is clear, inviting, and customizable. Although several assumptions were made to calculate the figures, I still enjoyed the interactive and I encourage you to spend some time with it.

Innovative Individuals: Juan Carlos Sánchez

Juan Sánchez was the mastermind behind El Mundo's graphic coverage of the Haiti earthquake that I highlighted earlier in the week, but his name has also been on countless other award-winning infographics. You might have seen his project, "Valencia Street Circuit," which was awarded a bronze at the 2008 International Infographic Malofiej awards. We are honored to choose Juan for this week's title as "Innovative Individual" for his excellent infographic work over the years.

Intro to Information Visualization: 50+ blogs, books, people, software & more

A friend recently emailed me for advice on how to get started learning about data visualization. After overwhelming him with a mega list of resources, I thought that it may also be helpful for some of you. Furthermore, I am currently taking an excellent course with Dr. Brad Hemminger this semester titled Information Visualization, and he has also provided countless resources for his students. Thus, I decided to combine portions of the two lists and publish them for the II community. While it is not an all-encompassing list, I would argue that it's a great start for beginners trying to get their feet wet. Enjoy!
