Hello, and welcome to everyone who found this site via Torley’s story on the Second Life blog!
I lead the Immersive Media Lab at J&W University. Several of our projects have utilized Second Life, including Virtual Morocco (cultural exchange and tourism promotion for the country of Morocco) and SLMetrics (a study of behavior modeling in virtual environments).
This isn’t a Second Life blog, but you will find LSL scripts and other related ephemera around.

Epic Systems together with Beemode (www.beemode.com) have developed a Data Visualization software “Trend Compass” almost ready to be released soon. It is an extension to Gapminder which was invented by a Swedish Professor. You can view it :

It is a new concept in viewing statistics and trends in an animated way and viewing 4 axis instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. It could be used in analysis, research, presentation etc.
Here are some links :

I hope you could evaluate it and give me your comments. So many ideas are there.
You can test the software by uploading data on our website and getting the corresponding Flash charts. This is for a limited number of users.
