Hei,
We had a meeting to talk about the concept for our Energy down project. This is what we came up with:
Level two: Individual level.
Some links to prior projects and datasets:
We had a meeting to talk about the concept for our Energy down project. This is what we came up with:
Identifying our data set:
Form: location, dates, an amount
Data type: numbers presenting amount of energy consumption, numbers
representing time, string representing addresses.
Internal structure: some kind of scale, comparison
Limits: no co-ordinate is smaller than 0. No date is older 2000.
Gamification part: We should be able to simulate history &
comparison with others.
Level one: Global over view
“simcity”
The user sees a map of the city, represented in a videogame-like
atmosphere (simcity-like for example http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/16324/2447664-simcity_20city.jpg).
Areas on this map glow according to the energy consumption.
“The Battle game of energy”
You can battle against different people from the city and based on your
energy consumption/level you have different amount of energy/strength for the
battle.
You can choose opponent by clicking on the map or entering their
address.
When you win a battle (animation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpFIj_8daVU&t=192)
you get some points according to how good your opponent is (how little energy
he uses). You can battle 5 times per day.
People are then ranked according to the number of points they gained
from battles.
Level two: Individual level.
By clicking on their house/block, a person can see the energy
consumption of their own apartment, their building, city part and compare it to
their neighbors (average for privacy issue) and other buildings, city parts
etc. This would be represented inside a model of their building (google maps 3D modeled view)
They can also see the evolution of their own consumption over time and
simulate the future impact of different actions (for example, “show the energy
consumption if I don’t use lights for a week”)
