Written Report on the Theory of Prototyping a Data Visualisation Interface

2800-3850 words

This second assignment is the project’s final part, with the main goal of designing an interactive visualization solution to a given scenario, prior chosen by the student. A list of the available scenarios can be found on the Moodle.
