Chronoscope on iPhone

If it hasn't been clear from my videos, I don't film them with a script or much forethought as to what I'm going to say or demo, which is one reason why I forgot to show off the iPhone version of Chronoscope. This time, it runs as Javascript in the Safari browser, but leverages iPhone gesture and touch events. But will it always run as Javascript, or is there another possibility? Time will reveal all secrets.

Chronoscope and GViz on Android

It's been a while since I've updated the blog, with good reason as we've been very busy recently. However, I wanted to share with you the fruit of some of that labor.

Long time readers will recall a prototype demo I posted a long time ago of Chronoscope running on Android. The original version was mainly a proof of concept that it was possible to reuse 98% of your code base and deploy nearly identical functionality both in browser, in the server, and on the phone.

What hasn't been shown however, is the production version, rewritten, with improved performance. Now dubbed Timescope, the new version integrates tightly with Android, as well as our ChartServer, and Google's Visualization API, to allow you to generate charts that render dynamically in web browsers, but launch native high performance applications on the phone.

Here's a video demonstrating a GViz chart, rendered as a static clickable image from our chart server and viewed in the Android Web browser. Click on the image launches a native Android application which allows full interactivity.

All of the full functionality of Chronoscope is retained, scalable to immense streaming datasets, annotatable via a variety of markers, a browser-like history mechanism, bookmarkable links, and a very flexible graph style sheet system.



I'll be posting a fairly substantial update soon on all of the cool stuff we've been working on recently, which is nearing public release.
