Add Visualizations and RealTime updates #3

Open MrClan opened 7 years ago

MrClan commented 7 years ago

An intuitive visualization which is updated in real time as and when the votes are casted.

bverpaalen commented 7 years ago

I think this kind of visualizations would be the best. The y-as could show the amount of votes The x-as could show the options Maybe have an extra number what show the total votes?

MrClan commented 7 years ago

Or maybe we can display it in a chart instead of xy graph, since options for values may not be very intuitive. Think about cases, where options may include people-photos. A chart with scattered images, and with no. of votes would look good and less technical.

bverpaalen commented 7 years ago

Something like this for every option? Or a line for every option and have legenda with the options?

MrClan commented 7 years ago

Not exactly, but something like this one: http://i.imgur.com/g0kNXFB.png The image maybe scattered instead of aligned in a grid.

bverpaalen commented 7 years ago

So in this case Shri Nandlal would have the highest votes and Dr. Vassant Ramji would have the lowest?

MrClan commented 7 years ago

yes. But that's just a reference image. I'm unable to find a suitable image. Please see this one: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/OHBbYFuAq1hBt3wdyLyGVCxsv1lAXipEybWb45nPBPtR-GanY5oUMj8Qgs-he9QxBoBx=h900

Here the background would be a full page browser window. And instead of app icons, there can be the poll-entities(or options) with numbers indicating vote count(like facebook messages count) :)

looks complicated, but visually anything close to this would be awesome: http://www.cotrino.com/lifespan/
