macroscope from tom schofield on Vimeo.

macroscope was developed with Martyn Dade-Robertson Newcastle University Architecture Landscape and Planning

macroscope uses a physics system to map research documents so that similar documents cluster.

Similarity is inferred by comparing results from a tfidf analysis.
Top results from the analysis can be displayed and documents are searchable for the context of those results.

The tool is intended to be a comparative and interactive search process and users can choose to compare documents to different text corpera to view the results under the “lenses” of different subject areas.
