Let's Put a Pin on It
Uncovering perspectives with interactive physicalization of data
Concept
The physicalization of data in combination with elements of
gamification can potentially be an effective way to captivate an
audience and to uncover their perspectives. This project presents an
interactive physical visualisation exhibited at the Agami Summit,
2019 along with the Gramener Storylabs team.
My Role
After the analysis and insight gathering phase done along with the
team, I designed questions around interesting insights from the
data, conceptualised the physical visualisation, iterated on
prototypes and was responsible for the final production. At the
event, I helped the audience engage with the visualisation and
gathered their feedback.
About the Event
The Agami Summit is an annual gathering of changemakers in law and
justice with the aim of sharing stories, ideas, and perspectives.
This year the theme of the summit was
“to touch, feel and shape the future of systems of law and
justice”
which fit well with the idea of an interactive physical
visualisation. This was presented in the Data Room — a collective
space for exploring how law and justice-related data can be
visualised to create awareness.
Reflection
From this exploration, I learned the possible effects of interactive
elements in a physical visualisation. The audience engagement is
particularly amplified when the visualisation becomes part of a
collective space and is presented in a playful environment.
