Many Eyes

posted Sat 27 Jan 2007 by Michael Galloy under Visualization

Many Eyes is a cool site that can produce visualizations of various types. You can upload your own data and publish the visualization on their site.

Many Eyes is run by Visual Communication Lab at IBM. It seeks to “democratize visualization and to enable a new social kind of data analysis.”

Note: I couldn’t get Firefox to view visualizations even though I have the latest Java plugin and Java normally works for it, so I had to view them using Safari.

About me

I'm a software developer focusing on high-performance computing and visualization in scientific programming. I work mostly in IDL, but occasionally use C, CUDA, and Python.

I currently work for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory. Previously, I worked for Tech-X Corporation, where I was the main developer for GPULib, a library of IDL bindings for GPU accelerated computation routines.

I am the creator and main developer for the open source projects IDLdoc, mgunit, and rIDL.

Contact me at Mastodon or via email at mgalloy at gmail dot com. For more details about me, see my CV/resume.
