Google Tech Talks June 26, 2008 ABSTRACT Peripheral Information Awareness through Evolving Mood Maps Representing multivariable changes of complex data sets with beautiful developing landscapes The idea behind the Panorama solution is to express the overall 'mood' of evolving, complex data (such as the development of the stock market) in rendered 3D animations that can be perceived and interpreted with little cognitive effort. The software application maps variables of a data set (e.g. bonds, shares, overall trading intensity or fluctuation of the stock market) to graphic parameters in a 3D simulation, such as ocean waves, sun strength, wind speed, cloud particles etc. Developments of the stock market, for example, become perceivable by cloud transformations, wave precipitations, and changes in sunlight. The result is a beautiful, developing scene in which observers (e.g. traders) can monitor several streams of background information without effort in their peripheral vision. Whenever this background information signals particular relevance in a given context, it moves to the observer's foreground attention. In this way information can become functional art instead of just a burden. Speaker: Roberto Vitalini

The idea is really powerful. People know how to read the weather instinctively and yet it is a really complex real-time system. Using a virtual atmosphere to express complex data change lets people live with the data or as Vitalini says, "..breathe the data" You don't need "fucking elocution" to get that idea across.

Brilliant application of psychology and technology.

He speaks english not because he narrates specially for you, anglophones, but because it is international language, and non-anglophone people understand him greatly and pay no heed to some roughness.

This work is pointless.

I can see why this guy got into visualisations because he's shite at presentations, how does he make such an interesting beautiful subject/product into a boring french drone. Get some fucking elocution lessons. English doesn't work as a slurry.

I feel bad for those who HAVE TO attend. So boring.
