Description: Currently the majority of data is visualized using static graphs and ta-bles. However, static graphs still leave much to be desired and provide only a small insight into trends and changes between values. We pro-pose a move away from purely static representations of data towards a more fluid and understandable environment for data representation. This is achieved through the use of an application which animates time based data. Animating time based data allows one to see nuances within a dataset from a more comprehensive perspective. This is espe-cially useful within the time based data rich telecommunications indus-try. The application comprises of two parts-the backend manages raw data which is then passed to the frontend for animation. A play function allows one to play through a time series. Which creates a fluid and dy-namic environment for exploring data. Both the advantages and disad-vantages of this approach are investigated and an application is intro-duced which can be used to animate and explore datasets.
