Data or Dada: It's all Art
The InfoCanvas system displays an electronic scene—a desert, window view, aquarium, beach, or mountain camp—that uses movable elements to represent categories of information. The elements shift as information changes.
Elements like birds, sailboats and beach towels can appear or disappear, change form, move along a path, scale up or down, rotate, or populate an area according to changes in associated data. News headlines and images can appear towed by an airplane, or on a billboard.
Because the display uses abstract elements that can be customized, users can monitor sensitive information, like bank balances, without revealing the information to everyone who enters the office.
