Info Viz, updates

by Chong Han Chua @ 12:11 am 24 January 2011

Data scraping is going well.. I have at the time of writing about 65k+ images scrapped of the iTunes App Store.

I forgot to mention, I’m changing my idea to try to visualize something interesting from the abundance of (mostly bad) icons on the App Store. I don’t think I will have sufficient time to scrape the entire app store, I’ll just have to work with what I have.

I’m not too sure what kind of visualization I can get out of all these data. On the fundamental level, I’m going to try to generate a colour chart of all the icons in the app store. I’m also thinking of experimenting with data averaging or various other techniques to see what I can get.

Susan Lin – Text Rain

by susanlin @ 7:38 am

An attempt in Flash / ActionScript 3.0
On second thought, I should have take a stab at it in Processing… It was hard to find directly applicable code. Alternatively, I also may just to be better at getting into the coding mindset.

The textrain is *supposed to* get caught on the whitest thresholds (worked better for the mediocre video quality and harsh desk lamp lighting).

In brighter news: The text is inspired by one of my favorite quotes:
“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” -Dr. Seuss

Project 1 – Text Rain – Nisha Kurani

by nkurani @ 7:31 am

I implemented this in Processing.  I decided to make it black and white with colorful text, which reads, “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone.”  Letters change colors everytime they reach the bottom of the screen.

Tentatively I cannot get XCode downloaded and installed on my computer to run openframeworks, so that component is unfortunately incomplete.
