Technische Beschreibung

Map of the Market is based on Treemap Research at the University of Maryland (Prof. Ben Shneiderman); see: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/treemap-history/index.shtml

Innovative aspect and particular research interest:
„Two aspects are innovative: first, the idea of graphically displaying stock market data in a commercial setting was unusual at the time; second, the algorithm for generating the geometry of the map was invented specifically for this project.“

Particular skills and resources necessary to realise/organise the project:
„Programming, server and client-side; graphic design; journalism“

Updates or follow-up projects:
„We created many other versions, including a 3D map.“
