Vitor,

Also there's some experiments and libraries from Nicolas García Belmonte,
who created the Javascript InfoViz Toolkit (jit) and now he's developing
PhiloGL (http://philogb.github.com/philogl).

See some cool dataviz examples on http://philogb.github.com/

People from Vizzuality (http://vizzuality.com/) also has some experiments
w/ dataviz using WebGL for mapping
http://vizzuality.github.com/HTML5-experiments/

Best, Héctor.
