The Analytics engine






My intention from my brief was fulfilled. I had created shades which would automatically rotate downwards when a certain amount of light flow was entered in the rooms. Sensors would have threshold triggers which when set of, would rotate the shades at an appropriate level according to the suns coordinates. This Feed givin would be live updating every 5 minutes allowing a perfect climate control for inside.

InfoGraphs



The new 2012 Death & taxes poster which helps visualize proposed u.s federal budget. The use of layout spread and colour is interesting and how everything is linked up would make it a very usefull information poster. 





This info graph helps intake information that might be hard to locate, giving statistical information about deaths in pedestrians in a specific area. Giving information that would be suprizing to hear for eg. 4 out of 157 deaths were kids.


This info graph has a bit of meaning behind it. The value of data is represented in a large symbol but the value 7 is shown many times in the humans face. from what i get out of this info graph is that the value of data is more to meets the eye, but once intakin data, we are capable of taking in large amounts of data.

Assignment Brief

For My assignment, I plan on using self designed shades which will move to cover openings like windows, skylights etc to control the light flow entering the room/ area. I will also be needing more then 1 sensor so i have decided to include multiple sensors at each opening of the environment. This will help me get a more accurate control of light flow.

Moving Entity Analysis


Using a basic moving entity flow graph combined with xml flow graph i was able to get a live feed on how far the car moves away from the avatar. This allows me to accurately measure the distance traveled.
