Visually Representing Internet Data?

Posted by Cliff on Saturday March 31, 2001 @07:41PM from the nifty-eye-candy dept.

d0om asks: "I'm curious if there is a program that allows one to view a graphical, three-dimensional representation of data, much like in the Matrix concept in the book Neuromancer where you have a grid of different blocks of data, all presented visually. I'm curious if anyone can recommend anything of this sort to me."

There has been lots of work on information visualization. It's not really like The Matrix, but attempts to be. Check out PNL's visualization team's work. In Citeseer, look for articles about Bead and Lyberworld.

I've done some work on this with a system called Yavi; can send a reference if you want. It's not hard to find lots of work on this. For an historical bibliography (1993 + prior), see my references here.
