Content of Specialization Course

The aim of Designing Information Products is to design interactive data visualizations and explore their role on society and utility to different stakeholders. Secondly, to design a system for a smart home system that integrates novel data-visualizations (digital or physical) to play the major role in communicating with users for information and control. Our final designs were, respectively, an interactive visualization comparing the healthcare quality to the amount of hospitals closed in Europe. And a data-communication system that tracks the user’s wasteful behavior which is translated to their shopping experience.
