Deirdre's Interactive Data Visualizations

A collection of links to my data vizs. Click on the image or the title to get to a live demo.

Executions in Texas

This was my final project for the Into to Data Viz class I took in 2013. It is a visualization of the most commonly used words in the last statements of people executed in Texas between 1982 and 2013. Based on Jim Vallandingham's tutorial Building a Bubble Cloud.

Worldwide Adolescent Fertility Rates Demo

A presentation of the data from the World Bank on fertitlity rates (1960 - 2015). Uses a tiny bit of d3 but mostly c3 (which is amazingly simple and powerful!)

Animated geometries

This is an example from the book Learning Three.js by Jos Dirksen.

Particle Simulation

A particle visualization with particles eminating from a catherine wheel formation. Much help on this from my engineer friend PA.

Particles with Gravity in Three.js

Example written in Three.js from the Fall 2015 Stanford class Data Visualization taught by Dave Deriso.

Female Employment as reported in the 1901 Census of Ireland

Homework for the Fall 2015 class Intermediate D3 taught by Scott Murray. The most challenging part of this assignent was getting the data, which I was able to obtain via a screen scrapping python program from my friend PA. This visualization charts a subset of the data; namely the returns for females aged 45 - 55 from Cork county.

Tornado Map of the US U.S.

Example from the book Data Visualization with JavaScript By Stephen A. Thomas. It also has an option to overlay a Voronoi diagram (which I don't find particularily helpful).

Boids Applied to Particles

Homework for my Stanford class. Probably the coolest thing ever. Insane amount of help from PA.

Three.js is making my head spin

This is another example from the book Learning Three.js by Jos Dirksen. I used a photo of my face to wrap a mesh over 3 geometries. This will make you feel a bit sick after a few seconds. Sorry 'bout that.

Earthquake Data Visualization

This is based on a tutorial by David Chouinard. This visualization charts the last week's earthquakes in the US. The data is obtained via a United States Geological Survey API.
