Abstract

In our current society, open data streams are more and more available through the Internet. This data can have an increasing impact on everyday life. Its full potential can, however, only reached through better integration and new interfaces. The goal of this project is to explore the possibilities of repurposing public information in a developing area of a large city in the Netherlands. Can we create a tangible interaction with use of physical visualization of these data streams? A series of prototypes have been made to develop a physical visualization through the method of research through design. Users were involved in expert panels and interviews to fine-tune and create a final prototype, Connect-S. The concept shows the opportunities of using physical visualization in connection with physical interaction for browsing and navigation.
