Visualizations from The Human Face of Big Data

Image
Data visualization  is the study of the visual representation of data, meaning "information that has been abstracted in some schematic form, including attributes or variables for the units of information". The Human Face of Big Data   is a global, crowdsourced media project focusing on humanity's new ability to collect, analyze and visualize vast amounts of data in real time.   Data visualizations help paint a picture of how Big Data affects and measures our lives. These revealing new interactive data visualizations were created for The Human Face of Big Data project Mission Control. A team of designers and data scientists from EMC Cloud Services, EMC Greenplum, and Tableau Software analyzed one billion unique global tweets from Twitter, along with other data, to amplify themes and stories from the project. A data set of approximately 170 billion unique data elements was drawn from the billion tweets and loaded into an EMC Greenplum Data Computing A...

What is "The Human Face of Big Data" Project

Image
“ The Human Face of Big Data ,” the latest groundbreaking, globally crowdsourced initiative from Rick Smolan, the creator of the “Day in the Life” series. The project, made possible through primary sponsorship from EMC, is based on the premise that the real-time visualization of data collected by satellites, and by billions of sensors, RFID tags, and GPS-enabled cameras and smartphones around the world, is enabling humanity to sense, measure, understand and affect aspects of our existence in ways our ancestors could never have imagined in their wildest dreams.  The multifaceted project kicks off on September 25 with an eight-day “Measure Our World” event inviting people around the world to share and compare their lives in real time through an innovative smartphone app. The project also includes “Mission Control” events in New York, Singapore and London; “Data Detectives,” a global student initiative being conducted in conjunction with the TED organization; a stunning large-...
