IDRays: An experiment with data presentation
Ideas
Inspired by MIT Media Labs Identity I decided to make something that can be related to individuals. After a few minutes of thought I decided to relate the pattern with the persons' name, his/her age, and his/her phone number. I wrote a processing sketch and I made some images from datasets related to some of my friends. And these are the images I made.
Most of the tweaks went into making the whole color scheme look good. The length of the lines are related to the ASCII codes of the characters of the persons' name; Age and phone number is related with red and green colors of the lines and the circle inside by virtue of a linear mathematical expression. :)
Here is the link to the processing sketch.
