Uncharted congratulates DARPA on its recent 60th anniversary. For nearly 20 years, we have worked with leading minds on “DARPA-hard” technology challenges. This immense privilege has afforded us the opportunity to apply thought, design, and implementation leadership in the data-driven art and science of visual analytics to new breakthroughs in human empowerment.

Since the advent of Gutenberg’s press, typesetting has relegated text to the margins of visualization: legends, axes, captions and footnotes. But modern web-based platforms can infuse rich textual information into interactive graphs and charts.

We recently held our Third Annual Uncharted Hackathon. This year’s theme was “Visualizing the Environment.” Thirty staff members across nine multidisciplinary teams vied for Uncharted’s coveted Hackathon Championship belt.

How does Uncharted unwind? We walk over to our local axe-throwing range (yes, that’s a thing) and let a few hatchets fly.

An Uncharted research product for the visual analysis of massive graph data is featured in the pages and on the cover of the latest issue of Information Visualization, a leading peer-reviewed journal on the study and application of information visualization.
