Advancing on the idea of interactive infographics here is a TEDtalk about the next generation of digital books with games and graphic you and display and interact with. This lets the data in the books be viewed by the reader on a number of levels of detail depending on the areas which interest them.
Also interactive game infographics allow the user to see how process such as wind energy work. The freedom and opportunity of involvement allows readers to get to grips with the research in their own way in their own time.
In my view this could be the future of infographics, creating ways (not just visually) which makes the information easily accessible to the public. However we have to be careful with the evolution of this new format there are a lot of pitfalls. I can see a huge amount of people getting tangled up in the interaction or detail and forgetting the key point…. What’s the story you want to tell the audience?
