I was interested in getting away from the traditional chart mentality and displaying data in a more unique way. I settled on comparing two numerical quantities using a seesaw or balance/scale metaphor. I chose to [...]

It was co-sponsored by the Arts, Media & Engineering program at Arizona State University and featured speakers, posters and project demos from many Universities. I was fortunate to have three short videos included as part of the demo [...]
Keep Reading »The first project for MAT259: Data Visualization involved exploring ways to display library checkout data in a 2D space. I chose to investigate how long each item was checked out and how it relates to item type, category or shelving section. My goal was to be able to make qualitative judgements on how checkout duration [...]
