From a TED Talk in June 2006. What I love is the way he uses humor to make many of his points. Other good things in the video:
- Challenges preconceive notions people have about the subject.
- Talks to the data and interacts with it.
- He places the data in historical context by explaining what happened in each country.
- The data visualization is the presentation, not just a background slide for his talk.
- Performs research on his target audience (i.e. students) to understand what they need to know.
- The presentation is shot from more than one camera, showing him and the screen from different angles.
Watching him I see how controlling the display from his laptop is an obstacle. What he needs a way to interact directly with the screen through touch and gesture.
