In a project on urban heat islands, we used interactive maps with filters and clickable layers. This approach allowed city planners to explore data dynamically, leading to better-informed decisions on green space development.

I effectively leverage 3D visualization, story maps, interactive charts, and augmented reality to educate and persuade politicians, airport authorities, and other stakeholders in developing urban air mobility (UAM), a new mode of transportation using eVTOL aircraft in urban environments. These tools help stakeholders visualize and understand UAM, offering immersive exploration of air corridors and the movement of people and goods in urban areas. Story maps provide a structured narrative, while interactive charts reveal insights dynamically. Augmented reality integrates data with real-world environments, enhancing route visualization and making complex UAM concepts accessible and engaging.

Color plays a crucial role in accessible, engaging visualizations. Ensure sufficient contrast for readability, and accommodate color blindness by using patterns, textures, or labels alongside colors. Choose palettes distinguishable by those with color blindness, avoiding problematic combinations like red-green or blue-purple. Warm colors evoke excitement, while cool colors convey calmness. Use color to guide attention, establish hierarchy, and maintain consistency. Balance mood with the overall message. Test color choices with users to refine their impact and effectiveness.

While mapping population density, we used a gradient color scheme to highlight areas of high and low density. The careful use of color made the data more intuitive and easier to interpret at a glance.

For a coastal erosion study, we animated shoreline changes over time. This visual approach helped stakeholders quickly grasp the extent of erosion and the urgency of implementing protective measures.

As a Data Analyst whose background is geospatial science, I have embraced ArcGIS Maps for Power BI to model spatial distribution. I have realized that GIS is just an extension of analytics as it connects items to their space, adding value to evidence-based decision-making. GIS as a concept is applicable in all forms of data only if we have the latitude and longitude.

In a project on cultural heritage sites, we embedded photos and videos within the map layers. This multimedia integration brought the sites to life, making the data more engaging and informative.

Integrating multimedia into maps and visualizations enhances engagement by adding depth and context. Embed images and videos for visual context and dynamic storytelling. Use audio for narration and ambient sounds or music to create immersive experiences that evoke emotional responses. Text annotations and hyperlinks provide in-depth information, while user-generated content fosters community participation and promotes acceptance and action. Together, these elements create a richer, more interactive, and memorable experience.

In Urban Air Mobility (UAM), 3D visualizations are crucial for making complex data more relatable and providing essential context that 2D maps can't offer. By adding depth and perspective, 3D visualizations allow us to explore and analyze airspace, flight paths, and urban infrastructure in a more immersive way. Users can visualize how eVTOL aircraft will navigate through urban landscapes, understand spatial relationships between buildings and flight paths, and assess potential impacts on the environment. The ability to rotate, zoom, and interact with these models helps stakeholders make better-informed decisions, ensuring safer and more efficient urban air mobility systems.

We used 3D models in an urban planning project to visualize building heights and shadows. The 3D perspective provided a clearer understanding of how new developments would impact the surrounding area.

When presenting flood risk data, we used simplified charts and maps with clear labels. This clarity ensured that non-experts could easily understand the risks and the proposed mitigation strategies.
