Description:
We propose D-FLIP, a novel algorithm that dynamically displays a set of digital photos using different principles for organizing them. A combination of requirements for photo arrangements can be flexibly replaced or added through the interaction and the results are continuously and dynamically displayed. D-FLIP uses combinatorial optimization and emergent computation approach, where parameters such as location, size, and photo angle are considered to be functions of time; dynamically determined by local relationships among adjacent photos at every time instance. Consequently, the global layout of all photos is automatically varied.
D-FLIP provides a new algorithm to interactively enjoy a large collection of photos with friends, family, and colleagues. Photos are displayed and arranged dynamically using different principles, which can be flexibly organized, replaced, or added through user interactions. Using the same algorithm, D-FLIP can also be used to visualize other media types such as movies, paintings, web content using their meta-data. Potential applications are interactive visualizations for a big-data, for educational purposes in schools, for a sophisticated recommendation system, and so on. In addition, D-FLIP can help to build an ecosystem of different media types which includes promising features such as pigeonholing, printing, automatic acquisition of meta-data, evolving into sharing sites, and coordinating with social network services.
