The tour is a visualization technique, implemented the R package tourr (Wickham et al., 2011), used to explore the structure of high-dimensional data by viewing a smooth sequence of projections. In the guided tour (Cook, Buja, Cabrera, and Hurley 1995), the sequence of projections is steered through "interesting" views, with index functions scoring the "interestingness". In this talk, I will demonstrate how we connect Shiny-like inputs and htmlwidgets to achieve an interactive setting within an html webpage (i.e. outside of an R session) that facilitates exploration of high-dimensional data with the tour while also providing options to explore the different variations of the tour algorithm.
