Getting in Touch: Engaging Public Event Visitors through Participatory Data Physicalization
Article No.: 85, Pages 1 - 3
Abstract
Participatory data physicalizations allow people to physically participate in the creation of visualizations. In this work, we present four categories of data physicalization concepts that were tested with public event visitors in a university context. The goal was to create data physicalizations from simple, affordable materials to engage visitors in data collection and visualization in a playful way.
