Packet Garden

A very cool information visualization program that makes a little world out of your packet data when your online. I've seen many of these before but I really like the idea of creating a world that you can latter explore.


Packet Garden captures information about how you use the internet and uses this stored information to grow a private world you can later explore.

To do this, Packet Garden takes note of all the servers you visit, their geographical location and the kinds of data you access. Uploads make hills and downloads valleys, their location determined by numbers taken from internet address itself. The size of each hill or valley is based on how much data is sent or received.
