About the project
MARLIN is a research project by students in the master's degree programme in Applied Computer Science at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences. In cooperation with SOOP, an innovation platform of the ocean research institutes Geomar, Alfred Wegner Institute for Polar and Marine Research, and Helmholtz Center Hereon, we are creating a platform for data visualization of local, live oceanic and meteorological measurements.
Challenge
Our challenge for you is to visualize the data measured by SOOP for our dashboard (web, mobile) and public displays.
The central aspect of the challenge is to design several options for visualizing the measured values for the corresponding platform, which will then be compared in user tests with the target group. The display of past measured values (e.g., last 24 hours) can also be considered.
Background information
SOOP currently supplies a sensor kit that measures water temperature, water level, and wave height. In the near future, another sensor kit will be available that measures air temperature, wind speed, gust speed, wind direction, humidity, and air pressure.
As part of our project, we have identified boat owners, swimmers, fishermen, and marina operators as potential target groups, which you can use for your user testing. Some marinas have public displays to show current information, which are located in the harbour master's office, for example. These public displays could also be easily placed on neighbouring beaches, reaching a different target group.
