Using ofxJSON, I loaded the narrative information from the drone strike data. I then extended my map application to display the headlines alongside the visualization. Initially, the words would be obscured, but using a textbox provided by ofxDatGui to allow the user to input the text they want unobscured. I used ofxTextSuite to handle the line wrapping of the narrative text that could occasionally scroll beyond the borders of the screen. I think I was initially excited by the potential ofxDatGui and ofxTextSuite gave me to explore traditional text-based interaction, while letting me do so in the environment of openFrameworks, which is typically oriented towards non-text based interaction. With text in openFrameworks, I could potentially do things like rendering the text on a 3d object, although I never implemented anything like that.
