Emanuel posted a short video clip showing how the map projection we recently did works.
We used two vertical menus in our interface: one to show static indicators and one to see relations between selected countries. The static indicators are basically triggered by placing a token on a menu item, then an animation starts playing without much interactive features. On the other menu the user selects an indicator the same way and starts then placing two additional tokens on countries to do comparisons among each other (or moves one token around as it is shown in the clip). The first chosen country is 100% and the value of the following country relates to it, visualized by scaling circles.
We submitted this project to the upcoming Art and Cartography Symposium here in Vienna and are planning to set up the installation there again. I don’t know who else will be attending, call for papers just closed and the program isn’t released yet, but the title itself does already sound very interesting.
