Information Visualization Using 3D Interactive Animation George G. Robertson, Stuart K. Card, andJock D. Mackinlay INFORMATION VISUALIZATION USING 3D INTERACTIVE ANIMATION innovations are often driven by a combination of technology advances and application demands. On the technology side, advances in interactive computer graphics hardware, coupled with low-cost mass storage, have created new possibilities for information retrieval systems in which UIs could play a more central role. On the application side, increasing masses of information confronting a business or an individual have created a demand for information management applications. In the 1980s, text-editing forced the shaping of the desktop metaphor and the now standard GUI paradigm. In the 1990s, it is likely that information access will be a primary force in shaping the successor to the desktop metaphor. This article presents an experimental system, the Information Visual/mr (see Figure 1), which explores a UI paradigm that goes beyond the desktop metaphor to exploit the emerging generation of graphical personal computersand to support the emerging application demand to retrieve, store, manipulate, and understand large amounts of information. The basic problem is how to utilize advancing graphics cecnnology to lower the cost of finding Information and accessing it once found (the information's "cost structure").

Information Workspaces From our observations about the problem of information access [2], we were led to develop UI paradigms oriented toward managing the cost structure of information-based work. This, in turn, led us to be concerned not just with the retrieval of informa- tion from a distant source, but also with the accessing of that informa- tion once it is retrieved and in use. The need for a low-cost, immediate storage for accessing objects in use is common to most kinds of work. The common solution is a workspace, whether it be a woodworking shop, a laboratory, or an office.

It is ambitious in its plan to compute constellations from network graphs. What is a constellation mathematically? You will need graph theory, a sophisticated data transformation. How many stars and links for a typical constellation? Why? Are there families of constellations? How do you represent the constellations within the network? What are the view transformations? How do you provide overview, zooming, filtering, details on demand? You need to focus. Who is your user? What are the tasks? Where do you get your raw data? You need refine your ideas.

Your Hello World demo worked very well and it gave your classmates a concrete opportunity to provide actionable feedback. Good work. Your challenge remains the graph theory to compute reasonable constellations in the number of stars and edges and their location. For example, should you strive for planar graphs? How many nodes and edges? Where do you place the cut off? Also, you have to think about your query system and the permanence of the constellations across users, sessions, and networks of friends.

Rates of recidivism reflect the degree to which released inmates have been rehabilitated and the role correctional programs play in reintegrating prisoners into society. The rate of recidivism in the U.S. is estimated to be about two-thirds, which means that two-thirds of released inmates will be re-incarcerated within three years. High rates of recidivism result in tremendous costs both in terms of public safety and in tax dollars spent to arrest, prosecute, and incarcerate re-offenders.

However, what has not changed is our longstanding goal to better understand our world through spatial analysis. Traveling the world I have met people from many diverse cultures who work in a wide range of industries. However, as I listen to their mission and challenges, there is a common pattern: we all speak the same language—it is the language of spatial analysis. This language consists of a core set of questions that we ask, a taxonomy that organizes and expands our understanding, and the fundamental steps to spatial analysis that embody how we solve spatial problems. I encourage each of you to learn and communicate to the world the power of spatial analysis. Learn the definition, learn the vocabulary and the process, and most important, be able to speak this language to the world.

    Classroom Activity Pictorial Language: Mesoamerican Reading and Writing ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Enduring Understanding The basic unit of pictorial language is the pictogram, a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept. Pictorial language, although an ancient tradition, is still employed in colloquialisms today. Grades K–12 Time One class period Visual Art Concepts Symbol, meaning, representation, communication, Materials Paper and pencils. Optional: colored pencils Talking about Art Pictorial language, or an ideographic writing system is a method of communication based on the ideogram/pictogram. An ideogram is a symbol that represents an idea or concept, while a pictogram conveys meaning through realistic resemblance. These symbols, unique to every ancient civilization, formed a hieroglyphic dictionary for Mesoamerican scribes. Much of the history of Mesoamerica can be traced through their pictorial language, independently developed around 950 and widely adopted throughout southern Mexico by 1300. It was used to record and preserve the history, genealogy, and mythology of Mixtec, Nahua, and Zapotec cultures and appears most prominently in painted books called codices. (For more information about codices and for tips on how to create one, see the accompanying lesson plan Create Your Lord Eight Deer Own Codex.) View and discuss the Codex Nuttal, Mexico, Western Oaxaca, 15th–16th century. What is going on here? Who are the characters? What is the setting? What action is taking place? How did the scribe or artist use line, shape, space, color, and composition to tell the story? This codex tells the story of Lord Eight Deer, an epic Mixtec conqueror and cult hero who lived between 1063 and 1115.

A map is simply a drawing or picture of a landscape or location. Maps usually show the landscape as it would be seen from above, looking directly down. As well as showing the landscape of an area, maps will often show other features such as roads, rivers, buildings, trees and lakes. A map can allow you to accurately plan a journey, giving a good idea of landmarks and features you will pass along the route, as well as how far you will be travelling. © Crown copyright Understanding your map needs There are many different types of maps. The type of map you would choose depends on why you need it. If you were trying to find a certain street or building in your home town you would need a map that showed you all the smaller streets, maybe even footpaths in and around town.

  • A Retrospective Look at My Professional Life 0. Prologue
    A Retrospective Look at My Professional Life Michael D. Maltz August 2020 Now that I’m just about done with the working part of my life, I thought that I’d try to trace the steps that I took in getting to this point, from initially embarking on a purely technical career to one that ended up in a social science. I describe how I drifted into studying crime. It may read a bit choppy, but the path I took was not straight; I followed my nose and what interested me, rather than any plan. To some extent, it shows the benefits of what Donald Campbell termed the “fish-scale” model of interdisciplinary studies: move away from the specialization you focused on in school, and apply the skills you learned to another area, since you have a different viewpoint (and skills) that can be valuable. [And now, with the COVID-19 pandemic upon us, I realize how fortunate I was to grow up during a time when going from school to college to graduate school to work, and then to retirement, was an expected and natural progression. I just hope that the current situation does settle down soon, so others can find a stable path through their lives.] 0. Prologue Before getting into the details of my life’s trajectory, here are two of my favorite quotes. They indicate, respectively, the promise and perils of quantitative analysis, which I have been doing for the past 50-odd years. The first is a 1948 poem by a mathematician, Clarence Wylie: PARADOX Not truth, nor certainty.

    POWER TO THE PEOPLE: MAPPING AND INFORMATION SHARING IN THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT by Marc Buslik Chicago Police Department and Michael D. Maltz University of Illinois at Chicago Abstract: Community policing is intended to change the way police offi- cers at all levels work. In support of these changes, the police department's information system should also be modified, in ways that may not be im- mediately apparent; if it is not modified, the full benefits of community po- licing may not be realized. This chapter describes the way the Chicago Po- lice Department has reorganized its information system, and, more to the point, has changed its policies regarding the sharing of information, in support of a full implementation of community policing. As Chicago Police Officers Gail Hagen and Margred Colon pre- pared for their monthly meeting with residents on their beat, they sat in front of a personal computer at the department's 25th District. While one worked the mouse and picked criteria for their search, the other reviewed the previous month's products.

  • A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated with FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona
    A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated With FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona Prepared for: Verizon Wireless Tempe, Arizona Prepared by: Terracon Consultants, Inc. Tempe, Arizona Terracon Project No. 65157582 August 2018 ABSTRACT Report Title: A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated with FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona Report Date: August 2018 Agencies: Federal Communications Commission, Arizona State Historic Preservation Office Project Sponsor: Verizon Wireless (Verizon) Project Description: Verizon constructs and collocates telecommunications facilities in Arizona. Due to the involvement of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the projects, they are considered federal undertakings subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviews FCC-licensed undertakings pursuant to two nationwide programmatic agreements. Some of Verizon’s proposed undertakings may be found by the FCC and SHPO to have an adverse effect on historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The purpose of this General Historic Properties Treatment Plan (General HPTP) is to streamline the resolution of adverse effects to historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the NRHP by Verizon-sponsored undertakings on private lands in Arizona. This streamlined resolution will also include the preparation of a project-specific addendum to the General HPTP. The General HPTP does not apply to state, county, municipal, or Tribal lands including private lands within tribal reservation boundaries, or to lands under federal jurisdiction. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Section 1.
