Created by multiple contributersi
This project explores how sensor data can be used to generate a living, evolving digital ecosystem. By visualising environmental data through code, we aim to make sensor measurements feel more alive and less abstract.
Background
We have created a living ecosystem which evolves based on sensor measurements to follow our ambition to delve into sensor technologies and also to make these measurements less statistical.
CO2 concentration (parts per milion)
What did we learn?
This experiment gave us the chance to create an ecosystem through code. We used P5js javascript library to achieve that, and we also learned how to use D3 javascript library for the line chart visualizations.
Ambitions
Different spaces produce different ecosystems with several variables, therefore we think that it is essential to capture a room's atmosphere with a data visualization, which can inspire future sensor products. This way, we can keep better track of our environments.
