Information Flocking Boids

A few weeks ago I referred one of the best projects I saw at InfoVis 2004. The project author, Andrew Vande Moere, has recently updated his website with images from the project and a downloadable (.pdf) file of the paper. The title of the paper is “Time-Varying Data Visualization using Information Flocking Boids”, and it was truly one of the most innovative and appealing visualizations I saw in this year’s InfoViz Conference.

Here’s a short description and a few images of the project:

“This research demonstrates how principles of self-organization and behavior simulation can be used to represent dynamic data evolutions by extending the concept of information flocking, originally introduced by Proctor & Winter, to time-varying datasets.”
