1. A system comprising: a device that includes at least one processor, the device including a particle based visualization engine comprising instructions stored in a computer-readable storage medium for execution by the at least one processor, the particle based visualization engine including: a dataset acquisition component that when executed causes the at least one processor to obtain a set of multivariate data that includes a first plurality of data records, each of the data records represented as a plurality of data values of data attribute variables; a template acquisition component that when executed causes the at least one processor to obtain a first display layout template representing a first collectivized visualization of pluralities of dataset points, the first collectivized visualization logically associated with a first set of the data attribute variables; a display representation determination component that when executed causes the at least one processor to determine a first individualized particulate display representation for each of the data records in the first plurality of data records, based on at least a portion of the data values associated with each respective one of the data records in the first plurality of data records; a display interface component that when executed causes the at least one processor to initiate a first display of the first individualized particulate display representations in accordance with the first display layout template; and an animated transition display interface component that when executed causes the at least one processor to initiate a transition of the first individualized particulate display representations in the first display, to a second display of second individualized particulate display representations, based on substantially preserving relative pairwise visual geometric positioning arrangements of pairs of the first individualized particulate display representations in the first display, in transitions to the corresponding second individualized particulate display representations in the second display.
