The xMacroscope provides a way for museum visitors to build and interpret visualizations that use data generated by the visitors during their exhibit experience.
As an exhibit developer, I want this to be a single driver experience, with the rest of a group of visitors observing interactions with the make-a-viz screen. #34
As a user, my path through the make-a-viz experience might look like this: show me something interesting without my having to make a choice, then ask me if I would like to see y or x (then add me), and then ask me if I would like to see x+y (then add me). #24
At x point (e.g. after 4 runners) my data point loses it's color and shape and becomes a generic data point so that visual clutter does not impede my understanding. #39
As a user I want each change I make to be visible as I build the visualization (I can see what I am building as I go along, not just once I am finished). #26
The current version doesn't implement all the queries, mutations, and subscriptions of the common GraphQL schema. After getting synced up on the schema with SMM, implement the revised schema.
As a subject matter expert, it is important to allow for missing data, and for people to be able to recognize that data is missing (e.g. spots with no data are shown in gray).
As a museum visitor I would like shoe type as a data field, so I can see if this affects run time (e.g. high heels, flip flops, tennis shoes, boots, wheels - can pick from pictures).
As a visitor who does not want a deep interaction, show me a simple visualization with new data very obvious, combined with a simple prompt. This will allow me to take away a new insight even though I only have a brief amount of time and attention to dedicate to this exhibit experience. #22
As a busy museum visitor, I would like to create a visualization in 5 minutes or less, so that I learn something cool in the short amount of time I have available. #46
During a guided experience that helps me create a layered visualization, the visitor would like to be oriented to where they are in the experience (e.g. you're on screen 2 of 5). #27
As I user, I want to pick the shape and color of my persona when entering my data at the beginning of the experience - this will help me remember which one is me. #14
As an advanced user, I would like an "advanced" button I can select to take me to a more advanced experience where the information is targeted to my level. #30
As a non-runner, I want to be able to choose attributes that match me when building a visualization (e.g. I want to see all males from Monroe County who are wearing boots). #19
As a user I would like you to scaffold the experience of building a visualization. Layer the complexity by variable. First show me in relation to others of my age, then sex, then footwear, then height, etc.. #23
As a Make-A-Viz user, I'd like to see a data table as a tab so I can toggle between various visualization types and the table. This helps me understand how the data is represented in the visualizations. #44
