The development of analysis and visualization software, available through a web interface and as a desktop client, for research on a wide variety of digitized cultural heritage materials, such as theatre performance, dance, film, literature, art, and computer games.

Interactive Visualization of Media Collections for Humanities Research is a Level II proposal to develop software tools that enable humanities researchers to explore collections of images and video. While typical graphs show data as points, our approach is to include the complete set of source images in the visualization.
