8. A TED project

Idea 1: Visualization in inventions and innovations: people

Idea 2: Yin & Yang: the harmony of concrete & abstract

>> Da Vinci is good at both drawing and math;

>> Einstein's brain is different from most people, in terms of: the visual and math brain-area

>> Both visual and math is about patterns, combining of TWO is more powerful than each single one!

Idea 3: Bruner's 3-modes, in Driscoll's book, the example on navigating space:

> Navigation systems,

> How it changes in one's brain,

> Cognitive distribution

> 3-spaces,3-tions: action, perception, conception 

Idea 4: A series of inventions about visualization

> Glasses, telescope, microscope

> X-ray, CT technique

> Math, philosophy

> Software: graphic design, architecture etc.

Idea 5: Smart Analogy

> The metaphors we live by

> Projecting abstract to concrete

> Projecting unvisible to visible

> Fantasy projecting

 Idea 6: Philosophy

> Blindmen's touching the elephant

> Plato's cave

> Criss-cross the city

Idea 7: Novel, movie, & interface

> Novels for 19-century

> Movies for 20-century

> Interfaces for 21-century 

Idea 8: Visualization with other key words:

> With design, image, imagination, animate, analogy, truth-&-beauty, data, theory

> With learning sciences, innovation sciences, m-modes

> With SIF: Semi-structured illustrated functions

Idea 9: A theory is a visualization model

> Is a theory-model really visible?

> How to make a model more visible? Illstration? Animation? Analogy?

> Projecting cognitive-ones to physical-ones

Idea 10: About a model

> Discovering DNA & model

> Model in architecture, building blocks

> Model and software

> A visible, touchable, & manipulatible model
