What the frick is a Hyperbolic tree?
A Hyperbolic Tree (HT) is a “focus+context” information visualization technique used to display large amount of inter-related data. This technique was originally developed (and patented) at Xerox PARC.
Check out a real example, using Pearl Jam as a starting point. Click on a band, or click on an empty spot to zoom around.

link doesnt work. it says: could not connect
But I want to connect …
They’re still having problems connecting to the database. Shame, it looks great.
Why must everything beautiful die! ;P
try click on the edge of the circle a few times, it will break the whole thing.
now it connects but it doesnt give me a hyperbolic tree, just the names of the band members (of the fantastic band pearl jam) and an urchin tracker error (cuz of my adblocker), which i think shouldnt be the reason why the tree doesnt work. the tree works on the main page tho.
I crippled it in a matter of seconds. it’s cool, but useless because it takes too much power to run. unfortunately it would be better if it was flash
Sorry guys, but I didn’t know you were that many!!!!! :S
My database went down…
Gordon, what you were seeing there was the feed for the hyperbolic tree page.
You can see the hyperbolic tree here (http://musictrails.com.ar/recommend/?band_name=Pearl+Jam). Just click on “hyperbolic browse this”.
ok. now it works. thanks for the hint, Nick.
Nope it still doesn’t work
All I get is a perpetual spinner

Kidding- Nice work, looks very cool.
or… “how to buy some RAM”.
