Google Maps, micro Interaction
Gap
Scenario: In walk mode, the direction pointer can be difficult to read in several situations such as:
The user’s and phones orientation is mismatched
The user pauses to chat, shop, and therefore turns around
When the user crosses the road to get on the other side.
When there are multiple pathways and no recognizable landmarks
When the street’s name is on the map but not on the real road.
Initial Iteration
Proposed Solution
Road names, landmarks are all reference points, they help a user orient herself, an alternative is using the path that the user has already traversed as reference point. Highlighting the way that the user has taken so far in order to orient themselves. For instance, I am walking towards my destination and I get a phone call, while talking I turned to my right and keep walking in the wrong direction. Highlighting the traversed path helps me orient myself back to the original path hence helping me orient myself.
Data Visualisation | Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay | Duration: 1 month | Mumbai, India 2014
How India’s Northeast voted
The project was carried out in the midst of a national election aimed to create infographics that reveal voter trends in multiple contexts. The north eastern states of India also referred to as the 7 sister states were focussed on as there is very limited understanding and information present in the collective mindset of Indians in other states. The infographic was greatly influenced in design my Edward Tufte’s principles of Information Design.
Small Multiples
A small multiple (sometimes called trellis chart, lattice chart, grid chart, or panel chart) is a series of similar graphs or charts using the same scale and axes, allowing them to be easily compared. It uses multiple views to show different partitions of a dataset. The term was popularized by Edward Tufte. Small multiples are used multiple times in the infographic for readers to be able to compare informations more easily as well as to give equal priority to the information.
Simulation | Hochschule für Künste | Duration: 2 months | Bremen, Germany 2017
Stimulating Pollination in Venus flytrap
Simulating pollination and insect behaviour for a carnivorous fly eating plan called Venus Flytrap. Venus fly traps
Scientific Study: A closer look at pollination and insect behaviour:
Venus flytrap internal mechanism
Statistics associated with insect speeds and randomisation
Factors affecting pollination like wind speed
Coding: Coding done using Processing invoking mouse actions, recursive loops and libraries.
Graphic Interpretation: Using harmonius simplified elements to keep focus on the simulation
