DataSPLASH - University of Berkeley: A project to interactively
visualize the tables of a relational database. Includes dynamic
generation and manipulation of objects within the database.
-
DEVise
- University of Wisconsin: This project uses the idea of having
various visualizations at the same time. The
visualizations can be applied one after another to obtain different
views of the same data. The approach is very similar to forming a
query on a database using a set of concatenated functions. The result
is a picture of the database which can not be dynamically manipulated
by the user.
-
DQI - University of Maryland: Main research on Dynamic Querying
continues at the University of Maryland in the Human-Computer
Interaction Lab. The main idea is to help user create scatter plot
views of the data set and manipulate them using direct manipulation
techniques. This research was implemented recently as a commercial
application which is known as Spotfire by IVEE Development Co.
-
Influence Explorer - Imperial College: This project also uses the
benefits of direct manipulation and Dynamic Querying ideas. This
approach displays histogram information of the attributes
simultaneously.
-
LinkWinds -
NASA: The approach uses the tight coupling (linking) of the different
visualizations of the data. It is developed for scientific
visualization purposes (e.g., atmospheric data visualization). But the
output is not just a rendering of the input data. The tool can be used
to dynamically analyze it.
-
Magic
Lens - XEROX PARC: The main method used in this project is to
apply various functions to a specified region of the data set that is
being visualized. For example, the simplest function that can be used
for this purpose is the zooming operation on a certain area of
interest of the data set.
-
Parallel Visual
Explorer - IBM: This project uses the parallel coordinate system
to show different projections of the data. It is highly dynamic. The
approach is capable of showing huge numbers of attributes at the same
time.
-
SDM -
Carnegie Mellon University: In this project different visualizations
of the same data are linked together. The user can see changes on all
visualizations simultaneously by just manipulating one.
-
Table Lens -

and graphical representations within a single understandable
view. Users can chose and manipulate regions of the table.
-
Visage - Carnegie Mellon University: The same group from the SDM
project contributes to this work. The main paradigm is still to
coordinate different visualizations via direct manipulation
techniques. This project uses a new drill-down and roll-up based
navigation method to travel inside the database. The application
automatically selects the best possible visualization for a given data
set.
-
VisDB - University of Munich: The main paradigm is to show the
similarities between attributes of the data. The definition of the
similarity function is left to the user. Color and distance is used to
give a sense of similarity between attributes.
-
VizControls - XEROX PARC: Set of applications including Magic
Lens, Table Lens, and others.

-
Giotto3D. Brown University - Draws 2D representation of a directed
acylic graph (DAG) first, and then lifts vertices along a third

motivation is that upward drawings are more readable because the
placement of vertices reflects the hierarchy. It applies to any
DAG's. The interaction support include navigation (rotation,
translation, zooming), filtering (show only selected objects, show
only the descendents of selected objects, (future) a query language),
focus+context display (graying out objects not in focus).
