Videos of the presentations at OpenVis 2013.
From the YouTube playlist:
- Santiago Ortiz – Information Visualization Creativity
Santiago Ortiz discusses methods for creating data visualization through understanding data structures & finding inspiration in geometry, topology and literature in this talk delivered at OpenVis Conf 2013.
- Tom MacWright – Designing Open, Interactive Maps
Tom MacWright presented TileMill, a free and open source cartography tool that aims to expand the world of maps with a focus on strong visual design as well as learnability and interactivity at OpenVis Conf 2013. He also reviewed the ecosystem of modern mapping tools, including new developments in Javascript libraries for displaying interactive maps and integrating them with other visualizations and narrative experiences.
- Shawn Allen – Life After Flash: Native Web Technologies for Mapping & Data Visualization
At OpenVis Conf 2013, Shawn spoke about how Stamen combines cutting-edge technologies with old-school tricks to build interactive maps and data visualizations for the modern web.
- Miguel Rios – Exploring Web Graphics APIs for Data Visualization
At OpenVis Conf 2013, Miguel Rios showed how graphic APIs work and in what circumstances each of them should (and should not) be used through some data visualization examples created at Twitter and elsewhere.
- Lynn Cherny – The Bones of a Best Seller: Visualizing Fiction's Structure
In this talk at OpenVis Conf 2013, Lynn Cherny illuminates how fiction "looks" at a meta level, using a combination of meta-linguistic analysis and simple machine learning.
- Kim Rees – Living, Breathing Data
At OpenVis Conf 2013, Kim Rees discussed the impetus for Periscopic's recent U.S. Gun Killings visualization project, the creative process, the bane of aggregate data, and, of course, the open data and open source tools they used to create it.
- Juan Velasco – OpenVis Conf Closing Keynote
- Jim Vallandingham – Using and Abusing the Force: Interesting applications fo D3's force layout
At OpenVis Conf 2013, Jim Vallandingham explores interesting derivations and practical applications of the basic force layout, using D3's speedy implementation. Merging force layouts with custom layouts, collision detection techniques, applying new forces, playing with gravity, and various node visuals are all discussed.
- Jesse Kriss – Successes and Failures of Visualization in the Obama Campaign
At OpenVis Conf 2013, Jesse Kriss presented a number of case studies from Dashboard (the Obama campaign's online field office) and the custom tools designed to coordinate and track voter protection efforts.

ualization-on-the-obama-campaign. - Gabriel Florit – On Responsive Design and Data Visualization
At OpenVis Conf 2013, Gabriel Florit walked through examples of varying complexity – tables, bar charts, maps – and proposed how to make our lives easier by enhancing data with metadata.
- Doug Schepers – Invisible Visualization
At OpenVis Conf 2013, Doug Schepers covered well-known challenges and pitfalls for accessible information graphics, and described techniques to overcome them focusing on Web solutions using SVG, HTML, ARIA, and the Web Audio API.
- Dominikus Baur – Data on Your Fingertips: Touchable Visualizations
Dominikus Baur discussed the concept and implications of touchable visualizations at OpenVis Conf 2013.
- Amanda Cox – OpenVis Conf Opening Keynote
New York Times graphics editor Amanda Cox spoke about intelligent guessing, data visualization, and emotional storytelling at OpenVis Conf 2013.
- Alex Graul – Architecting Visualizations: Pitfalls and Patterns
At OpenVis Conf 2013, Alex Graul talked through patterns, tools and pitfalls found at the coalface of visualisation development and how to approach building reusable charts, manage interactions between multiple charts and take designs from storyboard to software architecture.
- Abe Stanway – Data Visualization in the Trenches
At OpenVis Conf 2013, Abe Stanway spoke on engineering and interface constraints and challenges of surfacing actionable anomalies, while keeping noise to a minimum. Talk title was originally printed as "Bring the Noise: Making Effective Use of a Quarter Million Metrics."
- Kai Chang – Visually Exploring Multidimensional Data
We will explore datasets like these by interacting with parallel coordinates: discovering relationships, identifying outliers, and drilling through multidimensional space to uncover the structure of the data. At OpenVis Conf 2013, Kai Chang touched on the challenges and possibilities of building data exploration tools for web browsers along the way.
We don’t have a Senator like Sam Ervin now so I am laying in a supply of course lectures and conference videos.
Pointers to other conference videos or lectures appreciated.
