Caliph & Emir 0.9.23 Released

This release focuses on the visualization of repositories and search results in Emir. Alt + mouse wheel now changes size of thumbnails in the visualization and the movement within the visualization has been fixed. It further includes library updates and a new demo mode (endless loop of iterative arrangement in visualization) in Emir.

The new release can be downloaded at sourceforge:

• CaliphEmir_v0.9.23-bin.tar.bz2
• CaliphEmir_v0.9.23-bin.zip
• CaliphEmirSetup_v0.9.23_build339.exe

Visualization Demo Video Online

The demo session on the 77th MPEG Meeting was quite a success, many people were interested in the visualization. Many talks about standardisation, surveillance and other things where visual analysis could be needed took place at the demo desk. After the demo session I was asked to record a video of the visualization of Emir. Well that was easy. I’ve published the video here, optional download here. >> Watch the video
