Nature-Inspired and Nature-Relevant UI Models: A Demo from Exploring Bioluminescence Crowdsourced Data with a Design-Driven Approach

This demo project is an interactive design demo with a nature-centric perspective, focusing on bioluminescence in the natural world. We obtained a dataset related to bioluminescence from iNaturalist and performed data visualization to glean insights into the scientific classification, geographical distribution, and temporal patterns of bioluminescence. Based on the insights above, we designed a Bioluminescence World Clock, which demonstrates the flow of time by dynamically changing rhythmic processes of bioluminescence. Moreover, this interface is part of a public data collection service inspired by the Citizen Science model which contributes to the original data set through new data gathering and sharing.
