Trying to visualize theory

  By Tac Anderson | June 29, 2009 - 8:16 pm | Comm

Some people are gifted designers and artists. I am not. But I’m still visual and surprising tactile, especially for really hard vague ideas like theories.

This is one picture drawn during a brainstorm. For the people on the phone during the meeting someone took a picture and emailed it around. That photo then got emailed around some more. It surprised me how one grainy picture of a bad drawing with the right context behind it made my most far fetched ideas (somewhat) understandable.

I think as move past early adopters to early majority and the mainstream with socila media visualization is going to be a big deal.

    I've already experienced telecoms where drawn visualizations are shared live. The already widely used computer networking method with phone conferences, then people simply share a powerpoint, or even paint file, that they can see and edit.

    On a more graceful scale I've also seen, but not touched, Conference rooms where everyone has a touchpad where they can see and draw on an image that is being shown on the overhead. Although white boards and cell phones still work, I'm sure that screen sharing may very soon be a common feature in video chat.
