The Design, Implementation and Usability Evaluation of a Tool for Real Time Visualization of Information in Global Networks

The VI is a VIsualization tool which I designed and implemented as a masters thesis project for Ericsson. The VI takes real time input data from a specified stream and plots it on a globe or 2D-map representation of the world. The input data can be tied to nodes or to links and may be plotted in a few different ways.

This documentation will get you started with using the VI and customizing it for your project. Below you find the download and the next logical step is to consult the User Manual and the API for setting it all up.
