Hans Rosling: The Rise of China

Dec 6, 2008

Hans Rosling, the Swedish academic made famous by his lively talks at TED (more than 1 million downloads), gives his take on how most of the world still has not understood the rise of China. Highly recommend seeing him perform/present. He is extremely lively and thought provoking.

I have the pleasure to brief on our Data Visualization software "Trend Compass".

TC is a new concept in viewing statistics and trends in an animated way by displaying 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & Bubble color) instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. It could be used in analysis, research, presentation etc. In the banking sector, we have Deutsche Bank New York as our client.

I hope you could evaluate it and give me your comments. So many ideas are there.

You can download a trial version. It has a feature to export EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.

I love those TED talks. This week in Beijing I attended a talk by Steven Xu, he made some very good observations about the China and the current macroeconomic environment.
