Many Eyes: free online visualization tool

Posted in Graphics, Tools by Cathy Moore on 7 August 2007

Looking for a way to create interactive graphs? Check out Many Eyes, a free service from IBM’s Collaborative User Experience Group.

Here’s an example that shows how class and gender appear to have influenced survival on the Titanic. Play with the visualization on the Many Eyes site to see the data from different perspectives.

At this point, the visualizations you create must be posted publicly on the site. The people behind the service are considering offering access controls.

    Cathy, just found your blog via Cammy. It must be the prettiest blog on the planet, which raises the stakes somewhat!

    Thanks, Clive! If the design looks pretty, it’s because my graphic design skills are limited to deletion. I started with a more colorful WordPress template (Green Marinée) and deleted most of it.
