VisiGeek

The VisiGeek displayer enables the visual comparison of otherwise non-visual datasets. The visualizer highlights differences in the data using patterns, letter-shapes and motion. Applications of this type of visualization could include affinity-matching when searching for newsgroups or chat rooms to join, or visual sorting tasks such as identifying a desirable place to live using a back-end service such as a demographic database. The demonstration project's immediate goal is to allow a viewer to visually compare "Geek Codes" of two individuals to uncover differences and similarities.
