Illusions in Data Visualization Data visualizations are effective ways for inputting information into a human’s brain, and as Visual Analytics Researcher at Tableau Software and Visual.ly advisor Robert Kosara says, visualizations are what makes our world real. But even when the people who created the visualization are being honest, we can’t always trust what our eyes are showing us. We’ve evolved our visual perceptual system over millions of years (some other animals see optical illusions too) and it is extremely effective at what it does, but it still has some quirks. Sometimes it takes shortcuts to make things efficient, and those shortcuts are exposed in optical illusions. In a data visualization context, illusions are dangerous because they can make us see things that aren’t really there in the data. There are two main types of optical illusions: Physiological and Cognitive. Physiological Physiological illusions happen because of the way our sight systems physically work. Cognitive

Hnefatafl: the Game of the Vikings A Father Who Creatively Captures His Kids (20 photos) If there was a prize that could be given out to the most creative father, I'd hope that it was awarded to Jason Lee. A wedding photographer by day, he's used to capturing some of the most important moments in a couple's lives. As a longtime fan of Jason's photos on Flickr however, I think the real magic happens when he turns the camera onto his daughters. Sure, his children are adorably cute in their own right, but that's not what makes his photos so interesting. I was able to get in touch with Jason to ask him a few questions. Q: How did you get into photography? Q: How do you come up with such creative photos of your daughters? Q: How has being on Flickr helped you with your business? Q: Any inspirational stories you'd like to share? Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring photographers? Q: Any quotes you live by? Thanks for the interview, Jason, and for letting us share in your fatherhood experience. Jason Lee's website
Vintage Travel Posters and Relative Dimension in Space Whether the Doctor and crew rarely ending up where the meant to visit is a result of the Doctor not being able to drive the TARDIS or the TARDIS taking him where he needs to be out of its own volition, our favorite Time Lord generally ends up impacting the most important bits of human history. Sometimes he ends up in England, saving Shakespeare from alien witches, and sometimes he offhandedly mentions how he might’ve married Marilyn Monroe on accident. Sometimes he ends up in Space Florida for a nice Spacecation, and sometimes he ends up in India, seeing the sights without having to save the universe. Graphic designer Andrew Le has created some neat vintage travel posters showcasing those “lost episodes” where nothing happens and the Doctor and his crew have a relaxing time, placing the TARDIS into into the backgrounds of vacation hotspots.

Instagram ne se limite plus aux images carrées Le Monde.fr | • Mis à jour le | Par Michaël Szadkowski Il s’agit d’une petite révolution pour les accros à la photographie partagée sur smartphone. Instagram, qui comptait en décembre 2014 au moins 300 millions d’utilisateurs actifs, annonce, jeudi 27 août, qu’il donne à ses utilisateurs la possibilité de poster des photos dans un autre format que le carré. La version 7.5 de l’application voit apparaître un bouton destiné au cadrage, qui s’affiche au moment de poster l’image et permet de la partager en tant que portrait (vertical) ou paysage (horizontal). Cette évolution permettra de respecter les cadres originaux des photos et vidéos prises avec un smartphone ou un appareil numérique, et qui sont partagées sur l’application. « Vous pouvez partager des photos et vidéos dont les dimensions sont comprises entre 1.91 : 1 et 4:5 », précise Instagram.
