nineteen is designed to allow quick visually-assisted explorations of large qualitative/quantitative datasets. nineteen helps researchers spot patterns through easy access to visually-coded and therefore abstracted representations of their data while maintaining a deep connection to the concrete, source-data through direct inspection of the data using a customizable tool-tip interface.

nineteen is the result of an on-going work at the IIT Institute of Design. This project is a continuation of work on analytical data visualization and Visual coding for qualitative research by Professor Kim Erwin. Nineteen has been designed and implemented by Ted Pollari in collaboration with Kim Erwin, with additional advice from Professor Matt Mayfield. Ted is a dual degree, MDes/MBA candidate, focusing on interaction and technology strategy and planning.

This is still a work in progress, with a large featureset soon to be implemented. Feedback, ideas, critique, etc. are welcome and can be sent to either Ted Pollari or Kim Erwin

nineteen takes its name from Brodmann area 19, a region of the brain responsible for the detection of patterns, sustained attention to color and shape, visual priming, spatial working memory and inferential reasoning, among other things.

nineteen is still a work in progress, with growing list of items soon to be implemented. Priorities include:

• saving/resuming
• grouping on the x-axis
• tagging (with dataset export)
• custom colors
• customizable grouping
• and more.

Feedback, ideas, critique, etc. are welcome and can be sent sent to either Ted Pollari or Kim Erwin.

At the moment, no data is changed by nineteen, so there's nothing to actually save, per se, except for the few selections you've made with the visualization controls on the left.

Still, nineteen is still a work in progress, and all of that will be changing.

In the meantime, here's a quick hint – don't forget, you can save webpages. It won't save the options you've selected, but saving, particularly with the latest browsers and using the complete or 'webarchive' formats will let you create a version you can keep on your desktop.
