Data Vis: Primer and Practical Application

From eyecube.

Imagine being able to visualise your bank statement broken down by type of spend, by time or by location. Imagine literally being able to see where and when your money is going.

[I]magine the impact if we could visualise that information, not simply chart it and if every utility company were on board with making our bills simple, beautiful and highly useful. It’s also possible to take the visualisation approach into the material world; products like the Wattson device or the Ambient Energy Orb offer the ultimate in complex data made simple and beautiful; changing colour as your energy consumption waxes and wanes.

A beautiful device that changes colour as your bank account enters the red may perhaps be a little too much information for public display but could have serious impact in private.
