The workshop promotes an exploration of data gathering and visualization by means of computational design approaches and technologies addressed through the proposition of three areas of research. The exploration is then project-based and produced through the aggregation of different profiles of professionals and research with a commitment in the field. By accessing and manipulating open datasets and real time data collected with a selected hardware, as well as specific tools and libraries, participants design and develop projects that make raw data perceivable and meaningful through browser apps and other means. The workshop is a three-days intensive training featuring hands-on activities and project development. We will learn how to handle and visualise data toward meaningful inclusive services as well as to gather data from hardware trackers and sensors to build interactive online visualisations, using several protocols included LoraWan. After the first day of frontal lectures and hands-on activities led by different tutors, participants will split in teams, each of them focusing on a different topics:
/ Topic 1 Real Time Data Visualisation (based on a given hardware tracker communicating through LoraWan protocol)
/ Topic 2 Data Viz from Urban Data (based on Open Data dataset provided by Municipality and/or a traffic dataset)
/ Topic 3 Creative maps navigation through physical computing (Unity3D and VR)
