Those of you in the UK can check out an interesting iPhone App that visualizes Stephen Fry’s “The Fry Chronicles” (Released Today). Built by Stefanie Posavec and Dare Digital, it’s an interesting interactive visualization tool.
The entirety of the book is represented by a circular wheel of ‘spines’, each of which represents a section of text. The arcs around the outside of the wheel connect sections that are tagged with the same theme. By spinning the 112 self-contained sections around, viewing their opening words and following their tags, one can explore the book in a personalized, non-linear structure. Categories are distinguished by color: People, Subjects, Feelings and Fryisms.
You can get the app, myFry , for 7.99 £ on iTunes UK.
