A new version of Rhizosphere is available and it provides 2 new amazing features!
- Touchscreen support: Rhizosphere is perfectly usable with a touchscreen (as you can see from the image here on the side) and is also a lot of fun! All the Rhizosphere paradigm of dragging things around, selecting and filtering them is much more natural now that you can do it with your finger or a stylus! See the Videos page for a demonstration.
- If you combine this with the fact that Rhizosphere supports a small screen rendering suitable for portable devices, you can even start playing with it on your iPhone! ( more structured support for this is coming soon ).
- the Endless Desktop : when you have big datasets, or extensive visualizations, often the available screen estate is not enough. Now Rhizosphere supports a scrolling and panning mode that gives you a full unlimited desktop to organize your items around !
- If you are familiar with the way Google Maps allows you to move around over the globe ... this feature is pretty much the same, with the difference that you can now navigate over your data! And thanks to some reasonable design choices, panning is still fluid even when you have hundreds of elements on the screen.
Wanna see more?See the Videos page for a demo of the new functionalities.
Wanna try it? Try the prototype. You can get a good example to get started with the new features by typing js/sample/usa.js in the textbox and clicking the Go button.
