VibViz: Visualizing a Vibration Library

VibViz is an interactive visualization system for a vibration library. Its goal is to enable users to explore and browse the vibration library to investigate properties of vibrations. The system visualizes physical, sensory, emotional, metaphor, and usage example vibration attributes using three multi-form views. Linked-highlighting was employed to coordinate multiple views in the system.

CoVis: Visualizing Character Class Collocation in Ancient Chinese Literature

A key statistic on the relationships between the words that appear in a text corpus is word collocation. If two words are to appear in close proximity, they can be said to be collocated, and therefore conceptually linked. CoVis is a visualization tool for aiding in the analysis of collocation data. It was developed specifically for supporting a Cultural Evolution of Religion Research Consortium (CERC) project that looks at the relationship between religion and culture in a specific corpus of ancient Chinese literature.

Buckets: Basketball Shot Visualization 

Basketball fans are often interested in learning more about their favourite players and most tools today provide long tables of numbers to support these users. However, basketball is a spatial game and can benefit from visualizations to simplify and clarify the communication of a given player’s performance. Buckets does so by supporting viewing details about individual players, comparing multiple players, and exploring league trends through a variety of interactive charts. The focus is on shooting performance and includes three novel chart uses: a filterable shot chart, a simplified distance-from-hoop chart, and a left-right court position partitioned chart.
