Welcome to the Second Life Data Visualization wiki!
The wiki is presently locked to deter wiki spam. Please contact Melanie Swan with updates or to request a site login.
This is a community wiki, please feel free to edit it. There is a companion "Data Visualization" group in Second Life.
Project and Action Items:
- Background: Virtual worlds are the natural evolution of the Internet into a 3d commerce, information and communication platform. Streaming data into virtual worlds for visual display and interaction is an obvious next step for data visualization.
- Vision: Build a virtual worlds data visualization community for the purpose of collaborating, developing, sharing and using tools
- Current Activity: Expand this wiki site as a directory of data visualization tools in Second Life, and as a list of tool designers, developers, artists, and interested parties.
- Near-term Goals: Establish lecture and workshop meetings, design and host a competition for innovative and effective data viz in Second Life (please contribute to Second Life Data Visualization Competition page), extend tools to other virtual worlds platforms
Directory of Data Visualization Tools in SL:
