Abstract
AbstractVisualizing urban data has different purposes. Besides more traditional goals such as supporting experts to decide on smart city policies, supporting citizens to understand aspects of the city relevant to one’s everyday life needs different visualization approaches. In contrast to urban dashboards, which typically show various data sources in a more or less unified way, visualizations tailored for one specific task may be more appropriate for citizens. This paper introduces data experience points where people can experience data on location on their own device, and explore and understand urban phenomena through visualizations. Based on an expert workshop, we propose a set of design goals for these data experience points, and demonstrate the concept through a case study of visualizing air quality data. We designed and implemented multiple prototypes in this case study, and gathered feedback at a public outreach event.
