Animating Uncertainty

A look at visualizing certain types of uncertainty using animation.

@vlandham really interesting stuff. An issue I had with the wandering dots is that the smaller radius version is busier which gives it the illusion of changing faster...which to me implies more uncertainty not less. So animation speed might be a useful dimension for encoding!
@alexwein good point. and definitely something that would be fun to explore more.
@alexwein thanks for checking it out!
@vlandham hi - these are some really interesting ideas
