Making Interactive Statistical Graphics Ubiquitous

Music City Center 

Interactive statistical graphics started as specialized tools for data analysis, often requiring specific software or environments. With the advent of browsers and unification of web standards it became possible to leverage graphical capabilities more broadly. Specific areas such as map tools built on the technology and became ubiquitous, effectively becoming available to everyone. Although some attempts at web-based interactive visualization were made, they were often implemented as enhancements of existing static approaches or without taking into account the body of work on statistical interactive graphics. In this talk we want to showcase the key points in the parallel evolution, propose and demonstrate a framework that attempts to make statistical interactive framework ubiquitous by implementing the interactions required by statistical graphics using web-based technologies.
