ABS In Motion consumes data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics from 1982 until 2008 for each Australian state.
The data is displayed as a Motion Chart providing a multi-dimensional, over time analysis of 20 ABS data dimensions. The Motion Chart provides a powerful way to visualise data in five dimensions: x-axis, y-axis, size of bubble, colour of bubble, and time.
ABS In Motion data categories for visualisation include: Population, Life Expectancy, Eduction Levels, Income, Employment & Unemployment levels, CPI Inflation, Retail Turnover, GDP, Export & Imports.
good use of the google charts api however it doesnt work in chrome (v3) and crashed firefox 3 multiple times
Thanks for the feedback.
All testing done on Firefox 3.5 and IE6,7,8. Will get to work on Chrome and earlier versions of Firefox.
Works great on firefox 3.5. The “Load Surrounding Suburbs” feature is really cool, it’s amazing the differences between some adjacent suburbs.
sorry, that previous comment was meant for suburban trends – too many tabs open at once!
The animation on this is really nice and I’ve never seen that function of google docs before – nice change from maps.
