Silverlight Around the World
This data visualization on Silverlight.net underscored the RIA potential of Silverlight 1.0.
Silverlight isn’t just a way to deliver video (although it’s brilliant at that); one can use it to build all manner of rich internet applications (RIAs). Microsoft needed a way to show off the RIA possibilities of Silverlight in a context that highlighted the platform itself.
A zoomed-in view of the map
While Silverlight 1.0 was well known for having solid video playback performance, no projects to date had highlighted its potential to make visually rich internet applications and data visualizations.
Stimulant, in partnership with StepChange, designed and developed an interactive, map-based data visualization of interesting data sets on a truly global scale. From broadband penetration to Silverlight plugin adoption, our visualization spans all the countries of the world with intelligence, insight, and beauty.
Creating interaction beyond the computer.
From desktop to device, multi-touch to gestural, and portable to permanent, Stimulant creates magical multi-user experiences that bring people together.
