Project:
Knowledge Visualization and Navigation
The information explosion has made much more knowledge
available to everyone, but knowing what is available and finding
what is relevant in this mass is difficult. This project seeks to
improve the design of information spaces by better making use of
our spatial cognition and visual perception. Examples of our approach
include information spaces for journal articles, MIT EECS classes,
questions and answers, and movies. We are extending this approach to visualize
other domains such as object-oriented software programs.
