Java and XML or XHTML Journey Planner Project
I need some help with a project I am doing.
This project will be focusing on the area of information visualisation and the phenomena surrounding how data can be optimised in a confined space. Expanding on this, confined space can be a mobile phone screen and personal organisers where information is shown in a limited area.
I plan to use Java and XML. (or XHTML)
I want to have a running application where raw data is transformed into a combination of graphics and information. To achieve this, I will be looking at route planning for mobile phones and how route instructions can be represented in a visual but a sophisticated way.
My focus will be on the London transport.
Here is a link to the London transport journey planner

Using WAP, I surfed the website on my phone and there seems to be a lot of writing and there is a lot to process before understanding what is going on. I want to transform words into pictures e.g., the word underground or bus into a logo of a red bus or underground logo or Instead of walk, a picture of a walking pedestrian. Picture are good connotations as we can easily recognise rather than processing words. I would also like to represent the time taken in a graph format, again, to easily visualise.
The application can be on a phone or on Windows simulating a mobile phone.
Can anyone help me with this mammoth task or at least point me out in the correct direction? Iam willing to pay a significant amount for a working application.
Looking forward to your reply. PM messages are welcome
