Visualized Part 5: That was Cool

My favorite session of Visualized was with Jeff Norris, Alexander Chen, Cedric Kiefer, and Santiago Ortiz. All four are doing fabulous, mesmerizing work.

• Jeff Norris is experimenting with immersive technologies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion laboratory to improve how scientists use and interact with the Mars Curiosity rover. He showed perhaps my favorite single graph, which illustrates how scientists were much more accurate in their predictions using the immersive technology than with the official mission tool.

• Alexander Chen from Google demonstrated a variety of his projects, from an interactive music tool to musical MTA maps to using Google Glass to create his own music videos.
• Cedric Keifer discussed the process and output from some of Onformative’s beautiful projects.

• Santiago Ortiz. If you haven’t seen Santiago’s work or seen him present, you are missing out. While Norris works with space and Chen works with music and Keifer works with art, Ortiz works with time. His work is best summed up by this Tweet from Giorgia Lupi:
