I watched, earlier this decade as Tamara Munzner’s H3Viewer came on the scene. Walrus is being developed by Young Hyun at CAIDA and builds on the idea. Although Walrus is based on research by Tamara Munzner, she is not connected with this effort in any way, nor does Walrus make use of any code from her H3Viewer.

The project appears to be dormant (since 2005) and claims it doesn’t run on modern Macintosh systems (no-longer the case). I’m looking for biological applications in non-directed graph visualization. Specifically, Yeast interaction networks.
