Marketscape is an experimental data visualization of the S&P500 index, representing daily market activity as a virtual data artifact. It depicts index constituents as individual volumes, reflecting price change through height of extrusion and color, as well as trade volume through size. Following a one-dimensional tabular format, constituents are arranged based on price—the trajectory from minimum to maximum price indicated by a white vector. Clicking on a constituent isolates it along with other constituents related by industry.
