Visualizations

Connect-to-Connected Worlds is a project that created real-time, web-based visualization support for facilitators, researchers and visitors to the New York Hall of Science’s Connected Worlds immersive simulation exhibit. The project involved setting up the infrastructure to scrape ethically and non-intrusive data from the exhibit while it is in use (in real-time), deliver it to a database, and process it to visualize the patterns of interactions with different components in the exhibit in an on-demand fashion on tablets carried within the exhibit. These live, dynamic data visualizations can help visitors understand how their manipulations affect the simulated ecosystem’s sustainability.

In this modern age, along with the advances like industrialization and technological revolution the world also is being affected adversely by the side effects of these developments. Climate change being one of the adverse effects we are facing today. The past few decades have seen adverse changes in the climate with adverse rains leading to flooding, tornados and hurricans stronger than before, winter becoming severe in places which were mild before and summer months recording higher temperatures every year. The carbon released into the atmosphere, is being trapped which is raising the average temperatures. This project created a dashboard for environmentalists and researchers that allows juxtaposing, comparing and understanding the progression of climate change due to carbon footprints around the world using publicly available data.
