The Explorer is fun and intuitive way to consume a large corpus of data through clever visualization
The Explorer is a web-app that provides an interactive map of the complete geographical world. This interactive map has a timeline that allows the user to move through time at a certain location, and the map displays events that have occurred at that point in time at that location. These events are not restricted to a historical perspective, but also have events in different genres like political, educational, biological , literary events. These events can be filtered based on user choice. These events further give more information about the event on click.
Essentially the map encompasses information from the evolution of life on earth to different political reforms to independence movements of different countries. The map utilizes text analysis to scrape data off of the web, verify the data, sort the data according to genres and times and then offers a rich and intuitive map interface to serve the user with the interactive map with all of this information. It also provides a recommendation system based on user history ( personalization ) .
