How does data visualisation change user behaviour?

by Hebe TSE

Data Visualization

As we aim to raise awareness about the environmental impact of energy consumption and encourage guests to be more mindful of their usage, visible data will be used instead of numerical data. Therefore, we would like to explore the possibility of changing user behavior by using data visualization.

Two platforms are used to create different forms of data visualization

Blender
