Javascript Information Visualization (JIT) for Titanium Mobile
The JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit provides web standard based tools to create interactive data visualizations for the Web. I’m porting this to a commonJS module for Titanium Mobile. Right now it’s a data explorer app for internal development at Semantic Press.
jStat – Javascript statistical library
Performing statistical operations in javascript is now easier with jStat, a library that allows you to perform advanced operations without the need of a dedicated statistical language (ie., MATLAB or R).

Titanium Mobile: OpenGL ES Docs
OpenGL IOS Module (Docs)
Overview
Ti.OpenGL extends the Ti.View class with a Titanium view that responds to Open GL API commands and renders the resulting graphics. Ti.OpenGL views provide Javascript wrappers for almost all of the ES 1.1 and ES 2.0 API. In some cases, the Ti.OpenGL versions have been modified to accommodate the differences between Javascript and lower-level codes like Objective C and C++.
