Many Eyes Visualizations: Jesse Bluma at Pointe Viven
This was an excellent discovery. Many Eyes was a visual maker. There were several unique ways to use this tool. IBM described it as "the power of human visual intelligence".
Many Eyes had many applications for teachers, students, businesses, organizations, and more. Many teachers and students familiar with Wordle preferred Many Eyes as it allowed for more customization, descriptions, and options.
The cloud visualization above is an example of one of the kinds of visualizations you could make with Many Eyes. The most frequent words are portrayed with larger font.
This phrase net was useful to display relationships between words, patterns, and concepts.
The tag cloud above utilized color and font size to display data and information. You could use a tag cloud to compare two different texts. After you create your own tag cloud the tool allowed you to drag a cursor over each word to bring up more data, information, and connections related to it within the text.
The first basic step was to choose data or words you wish to input, such as a passage from a novel, a speech, or statistics. The second step was to select how you want the data or words to display, as a cloud or net. After that you would need to provide a title and other descriptive information for your visualization.
Although the tool is no longer running, after reading the directions and playing around a bit with the Many Eyes website, you will discover some ideas for making your own visualizations with other tools.
