Three-Dimensional Information Spaces

Three dimensional virtual spaces are being used to map information for easy exploration and navigation.



The work of Tamara Munzner, Stanford University, in visualising information, such as the link structures of the WWW, using three-dimensional hyperbolic spaces. For more information see her papers "H3 : Laying Out Large Directed Graphs in 3D Hyperbolic Space" and "Visualizing the Structure of the World Wide Web in 3D Hyperbolic Space".



The information visualisation and navigation tool called PerspectaView being developed by Perspecta. Their information space is created using the SmartContent System.



Visualising information spaces using Apple's Meta Content Format (MCF). The "Hotsauce" plug-in allows you to fly thru the information.


An example of Plumb Design's Thinkmap information space being used to map out a visual thesaurus.



A "semantic constellation" of an information space. The balls represent documents and their spatial arrangement shows relationships between them. It was produced by Chaomei Chen, Department of Information Systems and Computing, Brunel University.


Visualisation of search results from Web queries in SQWID (Search Query Weighted Information Display), an interesting Java-based tool being developed by Scott McCrickard, Colleen Kehoe, Amy Opalak, at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
