GSDH designed and developed a completelly dynamic XML and ActionScript 3 driven Flex application for Kneipp.
The application is a tool that allows users to pick a certain health-indication group (e.g. pregnancy) via a intuitive & innovative navigational concept. In a next step the visitor can pick the most important vitamins and minerals within this indcation group and learns about nutritional facts and Kneipp products which will supplement in that particular field.
The development of the tool was real fun and the tool itself turned out really well!

I found this ActionScript 3 libraries for interactive visualizations on the web and are busy trying to combine it with a Papervision 3D app for Kneipp.
Quote: “Flare is a collection of ActionScript 3 classes for building a wide variety of interactive visualizations. For example, flare can be used to build basic charts, complex animations, network diagrams, treemaps, and more. Flare is written in the ActionScript 3 programming language and can be used to build visualizations that run on the web in the Adobe Flash Player. Flare applications can be built using the free Adobe Flex SDK or Adobe’s Flex Builder IDE. Flare is based on prefuse, a full-featured visualization toolkit written in Java. Flare is open source software licensed under the terms of the BSD license, and can be freely used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.Take a look at their initial flare demo reel to see some of the visualizations that flare makes it easy to build.
To get up and running with flare, take a look at the Flare Tutorial and the API documentation.”

Joelle showed me this page the other day - more than worth checking it out!
Quote: “VisualComplexity.com intends to be a unified resource space for anyone interested in the visualization of complex networks. The project’s main goal is to leverage a critical understanding of different visualization methods, across a series of disciplines, as diverse as Biology, Social Networks or the World Wide Web. I truly hope this space can inspire, motivate and enlighten any person doing research on this field.”
There are hundreds of awesome systems of network visualizations - I particularly liked this one:
Hospitalsystem - seen on visualComplexity.com, also check the Density Design blog for more
Media System - also by Density Design
Quite amazing…
Quote: “here it is, our first multi-touch prototyp. a display recognizing multiple touches as well as being pressure sensitive. the method we used is the well known FTIR trick, developed by Jeff Han. concerning the software part we don’t use any pre-made multi-touch software but vvvv for tracking and visualization. therefore we have our own, customized toolkit including self-made freeframe plugins, which is very reliable and accurate.
right now the prototyp is quite robust against daylight and has low latency…although both parameters will be improved. we are working on different projects regarding the multi-touch topic and prototouch will be our test platform”
