Beschreibung:

Im Rahmen des Projekts werden Visualisierungstechniken und Interfaces für die Analyse Text-basierter Daten auf einem großen, hoch aufgelösten Display entwickelt.

English:

The focus of this project is the design and development of interfaces and visualization metaphors for the collaborative analysis of textual data on a large, high-resolution display. During the winter semester, such a display (resolution: 7680x4320 pixels, size: 4m x 2.3m) will become available at the Digital Bauhaus Lab.

During the first stage of the project we will analyse and categorize the over 100 existing approaches for visualizing textual data (http://textvis.lnu.se/). In parallel, solutions for scaling real-time text visualizations to high-resolution displays will be evaluated and prototyped.

In a second stage we will refine existing or design new visualization and interaction techniques for a number of big data problems (analysis of Twitter crawls, sentiment analysis of reviews, Wikipedia text reuse analysis, … ). Such publicly available document collections and log files as well as social media streams serve as a testbed for our visualization and interface designs.
