Project description

Data Central translates data using a L.E.D. window display. Interpreting the information, the L.E.D.'s change colors, and change patterns. Data Central has displayed various animations including weather data animations, and DNA related animations.

Project Highlights

Real-time Weather Data LED Animation

  • Designed LED animations based on real-time weather data for Albuquerque using Processing.
  • Utilized Processing’s sketchbook to load and parse XML data from the Weather Underground API.
  • Visualized key weather metrics such as temperature, wind speed, humidity, rainfall, and snow depth.
  • DNA Expression LED Animation
    • Created an animation that represents the vast differences in gene expression over a lifetime.
    • Each LED grouping visualizes the expression of a single gene in a specific region of the human brain.
    • Color variations depict the level of gene expression across different life stages, from prenatal development to adulthood.
  • Project Impact
    • Delivered a visually engaging and scientifically informative LED display on the exterior of the Center for Advanced Research Computing at the University of New Mexico.
    • Combined art and science to create a public visualization that educates viewers on both weather patterns and genetic expression.
