This video demonstrates the fundamental multi-touch functions of Vispol on a multitouch able surface. The demonstrated functions contain the creation and modification of persons, objects and connections. Additionally, examples of the layout functions in Vispol are being introduced.
This video demonstrates the object interaction possibilities in Vispol.
Automatic Layouts can be applied with the layout objects: once placed on the table the persons and objects on the screen will animatedly snap into the position that has been calculated by a layout algorithm.
As soon as a magnet object is placed on the table it can be modified by multi-touch andallows to create a customized magnet. This magnet will attract persons that have a certain attribute. E.g. you can create a magnet for a victim and another magnet for male persons. Victims will be arranged around the victim magnet and male persons will gather around the male magnet. Male victims will show up between both magnets.
Vispol 1.0, our interactive software for case-scenario visualisations, which has been developed for the Police in Hessen, Germany, was presented to the public at the CeBIT ‘09 in Hanover.
Please contact us, if you wish to commission Visactible, inform yourself about licenses, collaborational work or other details, or if you wish to arrange a meeting.
Vispol is an interactive case-szenario visualisation tool that has been developed for the police of the state of Hessen, Germany.
The software provides the user with easy icongraphics and touch-mechanisms in order to create and visualise complex relations between people, objects, and their information assets in cases of crimes like bank robberies and kidnappings.
The capability to give a simple overview over a case can help to prevent further dangerous situations as it becomes clear where action has to take place immediately.
People, new to the crime case, can quickly grasp the whole nature of it, which progresses the decision making considerably.
Vispol is easy to understand and work with
It is available as a mouse- or a multitouch able version incl. object interaction
Furthermore it is programmed in Adobe Flash and Adobe Air, and compatible with most platforms like Windows, Linux and MacOS X
Vispol was originally concepted and developed as a masterstudy under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Dörner at the visualisation laboratory of the FH Wiesbaden and in collaboration with the police of the state Hessen in Germany.
