Simon Urbanek's presentation on interactive graphics
Simon Urbanek from AT&T Labs gave an excellent presentation last week in our statistical graphics class, on the topic of interactive graphics. He did some demos, and here are his slides. I think there's the potential for more work in this area, especially in graphical summaries of fitted models.
P.S. Thanks to Antony Unwin for recommending that we invite Simon to speak.

Is it just me, or is it ironic that the slides for a presentation on interactive graphics are a static pdf file?

Bob,
well, there is something to your comment (also I think "ironic" is not quite capturing it). What would you expect to be the right media to present interactive graphics? Movies could be helpful, but what I saw so far is quite disappointing in so far, as the concepts are not really brought across - at least slides usually make "a point" which is often missing in movies.
Do you have any experiences in bringing "interactive strategies" across?
