] "An experiment in language and interface, Plumb Design's ] Visual Thesaurus is both an artistic exploration and a ] tool to explore, study, and analyze the structure of ] language. By displaying the interrelationships between ] words and meanings as spatial maps, the Visual Thesaurus ] translates language into a visible architecture. " Type in a word, and you get an artistic representation of how that word is connected to other words, each of which you can click on to see how *they* are connected... A great tool, and a very pleasing visual interface, too. It's neat to see what it attaches to more obscure words, but to really see it blossom like a flower, type in one of those small slippery words such as "do" "have" or "go". Added note: You must have Java installed to see the cool visual effects. |
