Foursquare Trends

bitsybot — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 14:11:41 +0000

Foursquare Trends shows human behavior over time by visualizing a week’s worth of Foursquare checkins. Eventually I’d like to develop a suite of similar tools to help small brick and mortar businesses understand their micro market landscapes. Check out the live version.

Foursquare Trends – Gender explores differences between frequency of Foursquare checkins between women and men over the course of a week. It’s currently a work in progress. By the end of July it will include category data for Ladies and Gents.

Setris is inspired by two of my favorite games, SET and Tetris. It was writen in the Processing environment. You can see my source code here.

Metavisual

Data visualization has exploded in the past few years, with artists and designers using an ever-expanding toolbox of techniques to make complex relationships clear. Metavisual provides a framework for categorizing and organizing a growing catalog of examples. This is a work in progress. If you’d like to collaborate with BitsyBot Labs on this project, please email bitsybot at gmail dot com.

Hunch Reports

Great data analysis always starts with a hunch.

Hunch is a New-York based startup that is creating a ‘taste graph’ of the internet. Participants are asked questions about a variety of decisions (such as what camera do I want to buy) and Hunch gives a direction tailored to the participant profile. Data from these questions is used to predict participant attitudes, and has also been used to create reports.

My report contributions:
Growing What You Eat
Mommy Wars
Console Tribes

Resonate

Resonate is a flannel quilt embedded with speakers. It allows the participant to experience the tactile sensations of music, without necessarily hearing the full fidelity of the sounds.
