Visual Inquiry Toolkit - 2005 IEEE InfoVis contest winner

The Visual Inquiry Toolkit (VIT) integrates visual, computational, and cartographic methods to enable human knowledge and judgment to be coupled productively with computational methods for incrementally searching patterns. The VIT was initially developed, entered, and took first place in the 2005 IEEE Information Visualization Contest (www.infovis.org), held annually to promote advances in information visualization. Contestants must develop interesting and insightful ways of visualizing and analyzing a complex benchmark data set provided by the contest organizers. The 2005 data set contained geographically-referenced statistics on employment, sales, and company relocations within selected U.S. industries over a twelve year period. The GeoVISTA Centers winning submission demonstrated geo-visual analytic strategies for detecting and exploring multivariate, spatio-temporal patterns.
