R and Interactive Visualizations

Dear All, I use several R libraries (ggplot2, igraph etc...) for producing static visualizations. However, I'd like to be able to go beyond this. Things I may like to be able to achieve (relying on R as much as possible): 1) network visualizations such that when you click on a node, you see its properties and the network layout centers on that node 2) geographical plots (e.g. European countries colored according to their GDP and the possibility to see some other metadata when I click on one of them) 3) being able to select/deselect some dataset in a conventional plot (e.g. multiple stacked histograms) and so on and so forth... I did some online research and came across potentially many resources like http://bit.ly/18dkX1P http://bit.ly/18dkXPF http://bit.ly/1jsksk4 http://bit.ly/1jskyrO but I honestly have no idea about where to start from. Making the interactive visualizations available on a website is a logical second step, but first things first. I am sure that plenty of people on this list have a strong expertise about the interactive visualizations, so any suggestion is welcome.
Besides what has been mentioned so far, you should look at the gridSVG package. There are a number of examples linked from its web page http://sjp.co.nz/projects/gridsvg/. Duncan Murdoch
