Rachel Shin – LO 9

I decided to do this week’s Looking Outwards on my friend Joseph Zhang’s LO-7 which was on the eCloud project in the San Jose Airport. Coming from the same hometown as Joseph, I’ve also passed by this computational data visualization project several times, admiring it, but not thinking much of it.

Like Joseph, I also found out that the project took into account real-time weather reports of cities all around the country which would be helpful particularly for people in the airport. 

After coding arrays the past weeks, I was able to make an observation that the projects that I see around me like eCloud in the San Jose airport is one that utilizes arrays of several compilations of data to create a visual that translates numbers into better communication methods for consumers like me.
