Brown University built this slick interactive site to make statistics less boring

Statistics tend to be pretty boring – especially to people that know little about the field or simply lack the skills and knowledge to interpret such data. Now Brown University wants to take the hassle out of perusing charts with its new interactive website.

Created by Brown student Daniel Kunin, Seeing Theory is a gorgeous website that aims to make statistics more accessible to a wide range of people through interactive visualizations.

What is particularly nifty is that all visualizations are broken down by categories and accompanied by additional information about the method and data they demonstrate. Some modules also allow you to fine-tune and toy around with the parameters.

Here are a few examples:
