Physical infovis
I was reading some new books about infovis and, from them, I started googling around to find some interesting cool infovis applications.
Among other interesting projects, I found the Tangible Query Interfaces from the Tangible Media Group of MIT of Boston.
The Tangible Query Interface is a sort of software that has a physical interface and the software is about data visualization.
The user can use UI controls that are physical objects and the use of these real objects made possible to edit data visualization.
I know words are not the best way to tell you about this project, maybe is simpler to have a look to the fascinating video about Physical Infovis.
This project is one of the most that the Tangible Media Lab has done on Physical Computing, a new frontier where the User Experience is into an augmented digital-physical environament ( very interesting is the Disaster Simulator and the AirPortSim).
Welcome to the Tangible User Intercafes ( TUIs ) world !
