CS491 - Visualization and Visual Analytics
This section contains the projects I worked on for the Visualization and Visual Analytics class, Fall 2009.
Project 1 - Bridge Over Troubled Water
For This project we had to create an interactive version of the John Snow cholera map, using
additional related dynamic data. The tool used for developing the visualization is Processing.
Project 2 - Leaving on a Jet Plane
This project focuses on building a mini application for
visualizing data of flights collected from O'Hare Airport Chicago.
The data collected was over a period of one week and had numerous
files which had be converted to some usable format.
Project 3 - Saturday Night at the Movies
For this project, we had to build an application to visualize data coming from
the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). The application had to offer the user the possibility
of visualizing and comparing the careers of multiple actors and directors, in a way similar to
the NY Times Billboards Rankings. Data preprocessing was of extreme importance for this project, since
the original IMDB text listings data had to be filtered and reorganized in order to bring it down
to an acceptable size and easy-to-load format.
Project 4 - I Heard it Through The Grapevine
For this project, we had to build an application to visualize movie suggestions
suing data coming from the NetFlix database. Data has to be shown as a force directed graph.
Data also had to be cross linked to the the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) data,
To get additional information about movies.
