Mapjack - Street View Mapping Visualization
"Mapjack.com showcases a new level of mapping technology. What others have done with NASA budgets and Star Wars-like equipment, we've done on a shoestring budget, along with a few trips to Radio Shack. Specifically, we developed an array of proprietary electronics, hardware and software tools that enable us to capture an entire city's streets with relative ease and excellent image quality. We have a complete low-cost scalable system encompassing the entire work-flow process needed for Immersive Street-Side Imagery, from picture gathering to post-processing to assembling on a Website."

NYTE - Telecommunications Visualization
"New York Talk Exchange illustrates the global exchange of information in real time by visualizing volumes of long distance telephone and IP (Internet Protocol) data flowing between New York and cities around the world. In an information age, telecommunications such as the Internet and the telephone bind people across space by eviscerating the constraints of distance. To reveal the relationships that New Yorkers have with the rest of the world, New York Talk Exchange asks: How does the city of New York connect to other cities? With which cities does New York have the strongest ties and how do these relationships shift with time? How does the rest of the world reach into the neighborhoods of New York?"

Phototype - Image Manipulation with Javascript
"Lately I had same crazy thoughts on coding a javascript wrapper to manipulate images rendered on the server-side. I decided to do some test which eventually resulted in phototype, a client/server-side library, based on prototype, which supports all kinds of image manipulations. On the serverside the library is powered by combination of PHP/GD that renders the image. With phototype, you are able to rotate, resize, flip and do some other cool effects to images."

Surfboard Designs by Max
When I go to the beach I see the same surfboard design paradigms over and over. So, I decided to design boards that were bold, vibrant and graphical. My influences were Karim Rashid, Kelly Slater, and Keith Harring. What I want these boards to do is stand out. On the walk to the beach, on the wave, and anywhere else it travels. These are the first of many board designs I will post in the labs section. Stay tuned.

MIT Reality Mining Visualization
"Reality Mining defines the collection of machine-sensed environmental data pertaining to human social behavior. This new paradigm of data mining makes possible the modeling of conversation context, proximity sensing, and temporospatial location throughout large communities of individuals. Mobile phones (and similarly innocuous devices) are used for data collection, opening social network analysis to new methods of empirical stochastic modeling."

jQuery Script to Automatically Preload images from CSS
"When we first launched the lab, we released a jQuery plugin that automatically preloads all images referenced in CSS files. We've found the script to be incredibly helpful in developing snappy applications where images are always ready when we need them. This post describes a significant update to the script which will make it even easier to integrate in existing projects."

Creating an Ajax contact form - from start to finish
"In this tutorial I’ll be showing you how to create an Ajax contact form from start to finish. This includes the form HTML/CSS, the JavaScript and the PHP backend. Obviously the form needs to work when JavaScript is disabled so we’ll have to create a functional PHP solution first, and then enhance it with AJAX."

jQuick - Quick Tag Creator for JQuery
jQuick is a quick tag creator for jQuery written by Francesco Sullo. "During the development of the first releases of PassPack, I adopted Easy DOM Creation by Michael Geary to quickly manage the DOM elements. But, in january, with the beta4 version of PassPack I needed to overcome Michael's library's limits (due to the compatibility with Prototype). So I developed jQuick. I hope you find it useful."

Zoomii - Amazon Bookstore Visualization
Have you ever wanted to browse the bookstore shelves online? Zoomii is a visualization where you can do just that. To quote the founder, "Why Zoomii? Because I love bookstores. Spending afternoons wandering the shelves. Happening across great books I didn't even know existed. But it's an experience I never found online. Online bookstores are wonderful. They've got amazing prices, huge selections, and they're open all the time. If you know exactly what you want, they're perfect. But somehow I kept coming back to the bookstore just to browse. Zoomii is my attempt to bring online as much of the real bookstore experience as possible." The application was created by Chris Thiessen. NIce job!

Using jQuery with Ruby on Rails
"By default, Rails comes packed with the Prototype javascript library and the effects library, Scriptaculous. While this is all well and good sometimes you want a change. I personally prefer jQuery to prototype. I don’t have any beef with prototype, infact I used it for about a year before even getting into rails, but I just prefer the jQuery syntax and selectors."

Travel Time Tube Map
"Click on or select from the dropdown a station to see the London Underground map reorganise around the times of travel from that station. Shortest paths are used to place the other stations - radius is proportional to time to travel, and angle should be correct for as-the-crow-flies direction on a map. The concentric circles are at 10 minute intervals. Press 'g' to get back to the geographical tube map." This project was created by Tom Carden with the Processing Visualization Language.

White Spectrum - Comments Visualization
The BBC has created a unique way to visualize comments on central question. In this case the question was, (Are white working class people ingored in Britain?). As they state, "spectrum is a different way of presenting a BBC News Have Your Say debate. It allows you to investigate the dabate around BBC 2's White Season by associating different comments by emotion, location and similarity". They state in the FAQ that the data is not an opinion poll and is not statistically valid, however, it is a visual way to get an impression of the debate. I enjoyed playing with the filters and clicking on the comments. The key was easy to understand and always there when you need it. The only thing I wish the visualization had was a way to tell which comments I had already clicked on while using any filter. Overall, very well done and engaging.

The Sheep Market
While this isn't a new project it is one worth looking at. "The sheep market is a collection of 10,000 sheep created by workers on Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Each worker was paid $.02 (US) to draw a sheep facing left." You can also purchase the sheep through the site or email them to a friend. I'm not sure if any were actually sold but the idea of art and commerce is always a nice idea. The project was created by Aeron Koblin in 2006 with flash.

Make an Adobe AIR app in Five Minutes
"The Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) is quite a hot topic among web developers. And well it might be! With AIR, Adobe's new desktop-based web application system, desktop applications can now be built with the technologies web developers have been using for years--plain old HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to do exactly that: build a simple web-based application for the desktop with Adobe AIR."
