This year’s prio.conference on the 28th and 29th of October is all about User Interfaces. Two days of lectures and seminars covering the latest technologies and concepts in software usability. Many experts in the field will attend the event and will focus on the development of exciting new ideas and practical tips. If you are involved with User Interface design this is a great chance to exchange ideas with like-minded people and learn about interesting developments in the field.

No commentsI 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
