ICCARUS is a new service created by social music and video recommendations startup Scouta. It creates a three dimensional visualization of the data behind a social networking or related website. ICCARUS also shows the social network between members, the memberships of groups, and the links between members and the content they enjoy.

The 'galaxy' can be navigated by clicking on points of interest, or searched using commands.

Python-Powered ICCARUS's data is fetched via web services provided by TurboGears, and uses an (as yet) unreleased version of the GFX library to create the visuals.
