Beschreibung:

Im Rahmen des Projekts werden Visualisierungstechniken und Interfaces für die Analyse Text-basierter Daten auf einem großen, hoch aufgelösten Multitouch-Display entwickelt.

English:

The focus of this project is the design and development of interfaces and visualization metaphors for the collaborative analysis of textual data on a large, high-resolution display with multi-touch input. During the summer semester, such a display (resolution: 7680x4320 pixels, size: 4m x 2.3m) will become available at the Digital Bauhaus Lab.

During the first stage of the project we will analyse and categorize recent approaches for visualizing textual data (http://textvis.lnu.se/). In a second stage, we will develop and implement scalable visualization and interaction techniques for a text reuse analysis of the entire Wikipedia article collection. The big data set consists of a similarity matrix of 4 million Wikipedia articles compared against each other. 

Requirements:

Lectures in computer graphics, visualization and web search and information retrieval are an ideal prerequisite for the project.
