Fascinating Visualisations

Mobile Phone Activity Visualization
One week of Irish life as seen by a mobile phone network: a heat map of users' activity.

The 15M movement
A social phenomenon like the 15M movement is an excellent opportunity to understand network formation processes and its spreading dynamics.

Network Visualisations (Dirk Brockmann)
• Follow the Money: Human Mobility and Effective Communities
• Tour de Sys: A Traveller's View of a Network
• Global Air Transportation

Please find below several screenshots and links from two of our existing products that demonstrate the possible cartographic output of simulations that might be performed in the framework of FuturICT.

1. The first visualization material is from Swiss World Atlas Interactive:
- please find attached some screenshots that may illustrate the visualization of simulations on global scales

2. The second visualization material is from Atlas of Switzerland:

Three movies are posted online at the following URL: http://vlab.ethz.ch/movies/
• sng_mov_same.mov = All the decision agents are the same. No interesting dynamics, just Brownian drift.
• sng_mov_min_mix.mov = 3 of the 10 decision agents are thinking 2 steps ahead whereas the other 7 are just thinking just one step ahead. Interesting dynamics emerge and can do so very suddenly; the system can look very stable and then explode into activity.
• sng_mov_half_mix.mov = 6 of the 10 decision agents are thinking 2 steps ahead whereas the other 4 are just thinking one step ahead. The cycles emerge very quickly and are persistent throughout the simulations.

Armando Bazanni
A movie of the velocity map reconstruction from GPS data (5% sampling of the total population) in the whole Rome metropolitan area.

It refers to one day data (may 5 2010); the color scale from blue to red refers to the congestion condition.

US Bank Failing

Didier Sornette, Ryan Woodard
In Didier Sornette's Chair of Entrepreneurial Risks, we are developing methods to identify financial bubbles in real time and to make probabilistic forecasts of when they will end. This research is cutting edge and very relevant, as the financial and academic literature provide no consensus on even the existence of financial bubbles, much less in identifying and forecasting them. In light of the recent financial crisis (and the inevitable future ones), the results of such research would have great policy implications.

The video shows the `birth' and growth of the strong bubble signal that we have developed for the recent dramatic peak and crash of the silver market in May 2011.

Luc Van Gool
This video is about pedestrian tracking from a mobile platform again, but we have similar material for cars, crossing recognition, street scene segmentation, 3D building reconstruction, etc.
