Abstract: | The aim of this project is to improve the data skyline, a visual installation at Saxion Hogeschool, by visualizing relevant data in an engaging way. The new interactive visualizations create an experience that users would like to return to. Waste separation and collection is the topic of the new view of the data skyline. This topic was chosen because it is relevant for all students, employees and passersby of Saxion. They encounter the need to separate waste at home and soon at Saxion too. This project creates a view that shows a creature living in the data skyline. Users can keep the creature alive by scanning the barcodes on their waste, which helps them to dispose of their waste correctly. Besides, a daily question on a variety of topics is presented to spark curiosity in users. User evaluations were conducted throughout the design process to assess the installation’s effectiveness. The summative evaluations showed that most participants experienced a willingness to return. The final design meets the goals and can be adapted for use in other contexts where the topic of sustainability in relation to waste separation and collection is of importance. |
