Iccarus: redes sociales en tres dimensiones (Inglés)…

Se trata de un servicio que permite la visualización tridimensional de los datos de una red social. Muestra la relación entre miembros, su calidad, etc. (INGLÉS). Nota_Aunque_ es una entrada de _agosto, me_ ha parecido curioso y no lo he encontrado…

Oooh…ahhh…
but how “actionable” is this data?
What does this viz tell u?

[...] ICCARUS: Three Dimensional Data Visualization“It creates a three dimensional visualization of the data behind a social networking or related website. ICCARUS also shows the social network between members, the memberships of groups, and the links between members and the content they enjoy. Navigate by clicking on points of interest, or searched using commands. Results are dynamic and are delivered in real time, providing an instant visual representation of the given network” TechCrunch [...]

Visuals are very cool, looks kinda hard to use, not as easy as http://www.socialsuggester.com

ICCARUS: Three Dimensional Data Visualization…

Uh, I gotta ask, anyone noticed this looks like it is based off the idea/model/software Jon Longoria and Gerard Toonstra of the HNC Network / theReformed began developing back in 1999 with a visualization of relationships in the Cloud?

Before they start distributing this, I think it might be wise to check and see if someone hasn’t already developed on the concept before lawsuits start flying.

Not bad at all, pretty good actually. I can see how it would be of use to a social network…

It would work well for an engineer troubleshooting or designing a big network.
Might be cool in a movie –like iHero….
Other than that — might make a good screensaver for your iphone.
Printing out results of 3D rendering is difficult too — bummer.

It has great potentials…

Question is, who knows how to harness such a potential technology?

I know a company or two who has been doing some great job to push this out to the public. Would be nice to see how far they can take it. My take is, they’ll fail because the public isn’t prepared for such a thing, yet.

It seems that we see the big concurency on the visualization tool startups.
First of all, there was a publish on Mashable with list of such tools.
Last week, I found an article on WebWare about http://walk2web.com They do some new way visualization of web,.. and now – ICCARUS.
Hmm, it’s getting interesting

This is nothing like Aero — but to clear the point, no one I’ve talked to hates Aero. They hate VISTA because the only good thing about it is Aero and it’s too much slower and buggier for that to be worth it.

I agree fully, it is complicated. ICCARUS is very, very new and isn’t ready yet for broader use (ask Richard: he’ll tell you as well), but it is a step in the right direction. An obvious inclusion (for me at least) would be tags as well, perhaps a clearer inclusion of reference points so you know what you’re looking at etc… the flip side though is that done right this could potentially be a much easier way of identifying network issues and relationships. Maybe not quite the trucks of Tom Clancy’s Netforce (c. 2000 for memory was the first book) but a better way than going through line upon line of code and logs.

I work with recommender systems and while this is quite an interesting representation, it also seems very useless. All this is is 3d confirmation of what we already knew for certain thanks to mathematical proofs. If it let you see some emergent phenomena in the data that wasn’t clear through other methods, then it might be useful. But that case wasn’t really made here.

Cool toy though.

Simplicity, but comprehensive is the key for success. Look how easy, albeit so ugly, myspace made it to attract millions. This won’t have broad based appeal due to being so complicated. More is not always better.

3D is a novel approach to data (?) but the problem with it Duncan is that it gets really freaking complicated in no time at all. Data along two dimensions is relatively straight forward (x, y) but for some reason, adding a third, forth or fifth dimension along with different scales… it’s just too much for our still simple brains to comprehend in a “snapshot”.

Star Wars fans, you (and me) have dreamed of it since 30 years now. Today, thanks to Australia-based startup Scouta, your dreams come true. Watch here….

3D is a new way to visualise data? Sorry but I remember a slew of 3D apps. from the past decade that have gone nowhere. They were all data apps. and many were also about networked data.

ICCARUS may find a good place in a niche market. But for the rest of us?

The guy kept on typing commands to show different things and it’s really really confusing. At the end, it’s just tool showing relationships among different entities. A 2D-graph is much easier to understand for most people.
