Three data visualization blogs

A friend of mine passed me three nice sites/blogs about data visualization. One of them focuses on the aestetics of information: infostetics, which leads to the following beautiful video:

Visualisation of the European Airspace

Stumbled across a video visualising the disruption caused by the volcanic ash cloud in the northern European Airspace.

Better late than never

Looks like I've managed to completely neglect this blog. My name is Victor Wåhlström. I'm a 23 years old, fourth year student, studying Computer Science, with a focus on HCI, at KTH.

My main area of interest is computer graphics and game development, which has guided my choice of courses for the past two years. I signed up for this course with the hopes that it would complement and expand my current knowledge in new and useful directions, and I must say that thus far it seems to be doing a great job!

World Bank opens up statistics!

The World Bank have released their substantial statistics about the state of the world to use for free.

Awesome!

Cool data for visualizations to be found here for sure:

TED Talks: Hans Rosling

Thought I would share this great TED Talk, from 2006, with Hans Rosling. Note how well the data is visualized.

Earth visualization

Nasa has done some interesting (and open source) visualizations of the earth, including beautiful information visualization. http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/demos/
