A Friend Brings Digicom Corporation to Life
This is pretty cool! A visual world, developed by Greenphospher, out of databases and database queries. I can’t help but think they stole this idea from that movie with Michael Douglas and Demi Moore…Disclosure.
At the bottom is a video introducing Greenphospher’s Greehouse technology and a tour of their virtual world. Pretty slick.
Angel!
Glasshouse by Green Phosphor is a gateway which can take a database query or a spreadsheet and place a 3D representation of it into a virtual world. Users can see data, and drill into it; re-sort it; explore it interactively -- all from within a virtual world. Glasshouse produces graphs which are avatars of the data itself.

p.s. Any blog with that cool theme is ok in our book!

Minority Report and Disclosure are definitely inspirational; but I must give credit for inspiration where credit is due:

I read Neuromancer close to twenty years ago, and have been interested in data visualization ever since.
