Publication alert! IALH Research Fellow Charles Perin has co-authored a new research article entitled Using KiriPhys to Show Expanding Carbon Emissions. Other authors include Foroozan Daneshzand and Sheelagh Carpendale.
Abstract:
There is a well-known gap between what experts know about data and what the general public understands. This gap is particularly critical regarding climate change data which requires public awareness
and feelings of responsibility. To close this gap, we need to make crucial climate-related information easily accessible to the public in a tangible, understandable format. We present an interactive carbon emission data physicalization based on the Kirigami technique. Leveraging the interaction and data representation possibilities of Kirigami, we physicalize total and per capita carbon emission in a way that reflects the data set relationships: Total emission divided by population is equal to emission per capita
