European Product Alerts
When a product (e.g. a toy, a childcare article or a household appliance) is posing a serious risk to the health and safety of civilians it will be collected in a central rapid alert system (RAPEX) by the European Commission. Notified products may need to be withdrawn from the market, recalled from consumers or warnings are needed to prevent risks and accidents. The visualization was not developed with CPU-centric visualization frameworks (e.g. D3.js). Instead a WebGL framework was used to support the GPU acceleration and to represent a much higher number of visual elements. The prototypical development supports data streaming to avoid delays through the static load of big files, too. Because of the technology mix the atomic visualizations provides the best fit to achieve an overview without losing any detail.
