Angie-Visualizing Time Project Ideas

  1. Time is measured through how much water/coffee/tea a person consumes. The code will display cups or glasses filling up and emptying throughout a day and the empty glasses will pile up at the side of the screen. What the person drinks is also reflected on the time of day(ex. coffee in the morning). For each second, you may see the cups filling up or emptying. For each minute, you can see the cup moving towards the left side of the screen for the empty cups, and for each hour, a new drink is introduced.
  2. The clock is represented by the number of people entering and existing a bus/subway car. The visualization would also include details to represent certain types of riders(ex. students) and there would be an increased amount of people during rush hours. For each second, you see the people inside the train making small movements, for each minute, the train “stops” as people enter and exit the cart, and for each hour, you see new details on the riders, specific to the hour that those people would be on the train(ex. at the morning, you would see people going to work/school).
  3. Time is felt through the state of a person’s bed and/or desk. This uses a basic routine of a person, and as the day progresses, we watch a person sleeping in bed, on the computer on their desk, perhaps having lunch, do other tasks, etc. For each second, you would see the person doing small movements, such as the z’s moving if they were asleep or them tapping on their computer. For each minute, you would see the person making larger movements, such as moving around, leaving the room, etc. For each hour, the person moves onto another task.
