A picture tells a thousand words. So imagine a world where anything you can count or measure can be automatically turned into beautiful and physically accurate images by anyone with access to the Internet.
Soon that will be possible with ShowMe, a new tool being developed by Real World Visuals, the company that helps everyone make sense of twenty-first century challenges by turning complex data into meaningful images and animations.
Up to now bespoke animations, like our award-winning film showing New York City’s carbon footprint, have been expensive to produce. But ShowMe, being developed with award winning software development agency Rocketmakers, will be available on a software-as-a-service basis and will work within any third-party app or from its own Web-app.
So Sustainability Managers will be able to illustrate complex climate success stories with meaningful images of carbon dioxide gas. Journalists can instantly create air pollution data that engages the reader. And teachers will create materials showing water volumes that make sense to pupils. In summary anyone will be able to turn seemingly incomprehensible numbers into meaningful and engaging imagery that captures imagination and helps everyone better understand the world we inhabit.
Development of the prototype ShowMe tool is being funded by a grant from Innovate UK. The initial version will just show gases - in particular carbon dioxide. Real World Visuals is setting up a new company to commercialise the product and will be seeking SEIS (Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme) funding in the New Year.
