there is some really nice (looking) work by Columbia U's Spatial Information Design Lab. Check out http://www.spatialinformationdesignlab.org/projects.php I do wonder though, in the same vein as Josh Lieberman's thought, how useful these animations are. They are definitely very beautiful to look at. I myself have been making some, and they seem to be very effective in a presentation, particularly to short-attention-span-policy-people, but they may not be very useful as analytical tools. Nevertheless, I don't intend to take away from the beauty of the well made animations and their ability to explain complex phenomena in an easy to understand way. -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org/ Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies http://www.nelson.wisc.edu/ Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) http://www.osgeo.org/ Sent from: Madison Wisconsin United States. _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
