visualizers
Tools showing data
Visualizers are tools or systems that create visual representations of data, music, or abstract information.
Audio visualizers generate animated graphics that respond to sound—common in media players and at concerts.
Data visualizers transform statistics into charts, graphs, or interactive displays.
A visualizer can also be a person who thinks primarily in mental images: She's a strong visualizer who can picture complex structures in her head.
