Kepler

At The New York Times R&D Lab, I designed and developed Kepler, a real-time visualization of New York Times taxonomy for the lab's five-screen display.

Kepler aggregated the hand-curated metadata from articles published over a rolling 24-hour window, visualizing the relationships between them. Articles were represented as points whose size corresponded to readership. As new stories were published and older ones expired, the visualization would continuously evolve. The application was built with Plask.
