KeyGraph: A basic tool since 1998
Data visualization: for the creative system design
We develop processes for analyzing and synthesizing data and humans' ideas on consumers' behaviors, their conversation, earthquakes, medical treatment etc. For reinforcing this process, we have developed technologies to make data and thoughts visible to support the awareness of interesting rare events and their linkage to daily events, so that the rare events can become perceived as chances i.e., uncertain risks or opportunities affecting humans' decision making.
THE BASIC SOFTWARE (FREE)
The free software posted below has been developed and used long (developed in 1998, revised every year) for the purposes of sciences and businesses:
