Concept

Sketch of Different Data Types in Various Locations

The first semester of work focused on investigating the space of practical possibilities. We attempted to identify diverse locations, data, and visualizations, as well as determine the pros and cons of different technologies. Sketches, images, videos, and 3D models of alternative were generated: early experiment portfolio.
