Alphaliterate
An advanced new form of visual to help you understand complexity.
What is it?
It does for time what maps do for space.
It demystifies complex events over time by using natural human visual processing to conceptualize those events as shapes.
How it works
Conventional graphs that show change over time are line graphs or a time series. Both have serious limitations. Line graphs reduce information down to isolated variables and time series requires you to mentally keep track of changes. The historigraph lets you track changes across multiple variables not in isolation, but based on how they interact with each other. It's the closest you can come to "seeing time".
Background
Seattle Sport Sciences, analyzing complex variables in video over time, and finding events quickly.
Business applications
The historigraph was successfully implemented with Seattle Sport Sciences, resulting in a product that has sold to several European soccer franchises. The examples below are "consumer" versions that depict history in order to demonstrate the principles.
