In 1.8.1, a new way of rendering these visualizations has been included, however it is NOT offered and they ARE enabled by default when you upgrade an instance - you need to update the runtime.properties .

(Note that it is not currently possible to offer different visualizations based on the client - you will have to choose to have VIVO use either one style or the other)- see the section at the bottom of this page for details.
Based on a Javascript library that generates svg markup (D3), it will render in any current browser - from IE9 onwards.
The visualization that has been implemented is also more colourful, and displays larger, as can be seen in the following examples:

And, as suggested above, it works on mobile devices. For example, here Here is it working on an iPad - the highlighting of a set of relationships and an information popup is also included:
