An aesthetic data visualisation designed to allow users to search intuitively through content of 7 million text documents by reconfiguring histograms used by common search engines. A histogram of words & their corresponding weights relative to a given set of documents is ordered to cluster loosely defined concepts, & then wrapped around a point. the resulting circular histograms can then be used to compare features between tens of documents in a single frame.
It is only a display or proof of concept demonstration and not an actual application or tool that's readily available for use.
