Project #9 Data Portrait

Description

There are seven columns, which represent 7 days in one week, Sunday to Saturday.

And on the left side is the exact time span in hour unit, from 0 o’clock to 23 o’clock.

The ball jump from the top represents the light condition at that time.

If the light volume is 0, it means that the room is totally dark and I am still sleeping.
If the light volume is around 140 lux, it means that I have already get up and turn on my light.

If the light volume is bigger than 0, but still very low, it refers to the moonlight or sunlight cast from curtains.

Data Resources

From my selective course in Tsinghua, Healthy Architecture, I get a device which can be used to record some parameters of the space in real time. I choose the light volume, because I can speculate my routine in reverse.

Reflection

This project gives me the first choice to experience processing data in coding. I found out some online tools that can help me transform Excel file directly to JSON file, which helped me a lot. But my biggest gain is to realize the importance of choosing the right dimension for my data. Or to say, I have intially learned how to choose key and value. This is tightly related to the following processing on data array. Also I realize that I need more practice in dealing with multi-dimensional array, especially in for loop.
