WolframAlpha transforms abstract data into interactive graphics through the Dynamic Visualization System (DVS), whose visualization capabilities encompass 278 presentations in 12 categories. When processing requests such as "Plot a comparison of the sin(x) and cos(x) functions", the system automatically optimizes the coordinate scale, adds a legend, and supports 3D perspective rotation.
Technical highlights include:
- Intelligent Rendering: Automatically select the optimal chart type based on data characteristics (e.g. box-and-line vs. scatter)
- Multi-layer superposition: supports simultaneous display of global seismic distribution and plate tectonic boundaries
- Real-time interaction: Click on any element in the periodic table to bring up details of its physical and chemical properties.
Applications in education are particularly notable, with statistics showing that students using WolframAlpha visualizations improved their scores on tests of understanding abstract concepts such as fluctuation equations by 411 TP3 T. Visualizations can be exported as vector graphics (SVG) or in interactive HTML5 format.
