moving text….oooh – text arc is this gorgeous program that does cool things with text and visualization. it’s very similar to ben fry‘s work with valences, all of which are just so intriguing as visualizations of textual data. now, if only someone would take visualization of text to a new level and play with the structure of the glyphs, i’d be ecstatic. 1 comment to moving text…. |

Fascinating. I was asked to evaluate a program almost exactly like this about 2 years ago, when I was doing web design full time. It was proposed by a company we were dealing with as a method for linking web pages, and it was my job to evaluate it. I loved the visual and imaginative appeal, but I distinctly remember saying that the average internet user would have no idea what to do with it. Which, sadly, is still probably true.
