Data for All is a service design project that aims to blur the boundaries between ability and disability by changing the way data is communicated. The project translates data into tactile and visual tools.​
​
The design is aimed to be used in schools. Complex worldwide data sets are translated into 3D globes which students can touch, examine and understand.
Brief by Canon
Imagine in the future, capturing 3D information is available to all using cameras or smartphones. Build a service that would make the process of captured 3D information more accessible.
THE PROBLEM
Data visualisation helps people better understand data by putting it in a visual context, but it excludes a big group of people:
​
visually impaired students + tactile learners
​
How might we provide a more hands-on and engaging way to make data more accessible to all students?
THE SERVICE
The service consists of a smartphone app and a 3D printer. Data gets sent to the 3D printer via the smartphone app and gets printed as a globe and a stand.
APP DESIGN
The app uses augmented reality to give more information on the data set when the 3D printed globe is scanned by the user.
