The Challenge
Collecting and analyzing data on shoe types and their attributes from at least 100 individuals.
Creating an interactive, user-friendly, and visually appealing data visualization.
Designing a responsive website that effectively communicates the data insights in an engaging manner.
Sole researcher, designer, and developer for the project. Responsible for data collection, analysis, and visualization.
Defining Project Goals
Constraints
The major limitation was collecting 100 data points within a short timeframe
The virtual reality space is still being developed so knowledge about the topic is very limited
Ensuring the data visualization was both interactive and intuitive for users.
Data Points Collected
Brand
Create an engaging and interactive data visualization platform.
Style
Provide insights into shoe trends and preferences based on collected data
Materials
Ensure the platform is accessible and easy to navigate in virtual reality
Colors
Ensure the platform is accessible and easy to navigate in virtual reality
Price
Ensure the platform is accessible and easy to navigate in virtual reality
Condition
Ensure the platform is accessible and easy to navigate in virtual reality
Weather
Ensure the platform is accessible and easy to navigate in virtual reality
Research & Data Collection
Collected information on brand, style, material, colors, price, and condition of shoes from 100 participants.
Recorded weather conditions to analyze its impact on shoe choices.
Research specifics on spatial design & acquired proper resources to test designs

High-Fidelity Design
Interactive Web Design
Data Analysis
Designed a 3D environment in Spline where users can control an object to explore the data.
UX Design
Created a responsive website that displays data in an engaging and interactive manner.
Testing to Improve
Usability Tests
Conducted 5 usability tests to ensure the design allowed for successful and efficient interaction with the data.
Included 5 individuals with varying levels of familiarity with interactive data visualizations.
Key Findings
All participants were able to navigate and interact with the data visualization.
Issues
Some users found the controls for the 3D environment initially confusing.
Participants wanted more detailed information on each data point.
Solutions
Simplified the controls and added a tutorial for first-time users.
Included more detailed hover-over information for each data point.
Closing Thoughts
This project allowed me to explore new tools and techniques in interactive data visualization. I learned the importance of user feedback in refining and improving design elements.
I plan to continue refining the data visualization platform based on additional user feedback and expanding the dataset for more comprehensive insights.
Designing a responsive website that effectively communicates the data insights in an engaging manner.
What I learned
