Inspiring through data visualisation

There are several ways to use algorithms and machine learning to create data visualisation. In his webinar, Andreas Refsgaard shows that they can be used to enable people to play music using only their eye movement and facial gestures, to control games by making silly sounds, or transform drawings of musical instruments on paper into real compositions.

Data visualisation can be used to pay tribute to cultural masterpieces. In his webinar, Matteo Bonera shows how an innovative data visualisation instrument was designed to explore Leonardo da Vinci’s greatest masterpieces in a novel way in commemoration of the 500-year anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death. Watch the video and discover how Matteo pushed creative boundaries to celebrate art.

Data and key findings can be lost in lengthy news pieces and reports. In this webinar, Rafael Höhr shares a global perspective on the evolution of graphics that are being used to visualise news and reports. You’ll see the type of software and hardware used to create the data visualisation and learn how users influence the design of graphics and why.
