VISLAB
The federal environmental agency (UBA), is cultivating a growing vault of environmental data. They were looking for novel ways of providing experts and citizens with insightful access to the data. In an exploratory ideation process, we collaboratively investigated new approaches and methods for turning those data sets into interactive tools for data analysis, exploration and story-telling.
VISLAB is transforming data and information into engaging interactive experiences: from data visualisations, to interactive exhibits, to information portals. Throughout our process: from ideation, to conception, to development, we are taking advantage of user-centered design and user research principles, trying to align innovative technological solutions with actual user needs. Beyond project conception and development, we are also consulting clients and organizing workshops on user-centered design and data visualization.
