VIKUS Viewer (overlay extension)

Abstract

The VIKUS Viewer (overlay extension) is an adaption of VIKUS Viewer, a web-based visualization system for the dynamic, interactive visualization of metadata (originally on cultural heritage data) that allows for the exploration of thematic and temporal patterns of large collections. The extension aims at the support of multi-media data that occurs in spoken language corpora (esp. audio and video). VIKUS Viewer was designed and developed by Christopher Pietsch. The VIKUS Viewer software is based on the visualization code behind Past Visions, a collaborative effort by Katrin Glinka, Christopher Pietsch, and Marian Dörk carried out at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam in the context of the Urban Complexity Lab during the research project VIKUS (2014-2017).
