At Mozfest we will be unveiling Natalie Freed's newest data illustration, the Austin Data Dashboard. It is a pop-up paper circuit that demonstrates how to visualize city data in a physical and ambient manner. Here's a picture of the ADD under development. It uses a servo to show time of data and lights to show traffic on the road, temperature in the background and when the bats fly from under the bridge.
If you were to make a visualization for your city or favorite place, what data would you include? What locations or things would you draw? What are the key issues for your cities? Some might be common (is it too hot today?) and others may be particular to the area (like when the bats leave from under the bridges in Austin?)
