Cycles

These are screenshots taken from a 3D data visualization i realized at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design for the Quantified-Self workshop (ciid.dk/education/summer-school/ciid-summer-school-2013/quantified-self/) with Marius Watz.

 

The project is called 'Cycles' and is a visualisation of my sleep cycles data (deep phase, light phase, awake phase, heart rate, efficiency...) recorded via an iPhone application.

 

The way the towers are built (step-by-step) is a metaphor of the data collection process.

Towers collapse because we are traveling through time (time flies so nothing remains permanently).

Colors are selected from a colour pool.

The longest a sleep cycles is, the more the related color will be selected in the color pool.

 

Those pics were captured while i was simultaneously drawing the path of the particles (the trails) and moving the camera around.
