V&A Museum collection exploration tool

September, 2012

Tech stack: ArborJS, JQuery, JavaScript, SQL and Java

This project was part of my dissertation at the

University of Southampton
that I undertook at
IT Innovation Centre
and was exposed as part of a meeting held by
System Simulation
at the British Museum.

The visualisation interface allows the exploration of a database of similar art and design items from

Victoria and Albert Museum
through a graph and multiple mechanisms to dynamically update the search preferences.

The user can find items of the museum by clicking on one or multiple ones and the graph would show similar ones closer together. Additionaly, the user can use dynamic filters to narrow down the selection by time and materials in general or based on the items already shown.

While I was developing this project I had the chance to read

Designing Data Visualizations
, a book explaining the design process and all the elements that can be used to communicate data.

The app could be adopted by other systems with large amount of data that may benefit from the combination of these exploratory mechanisms.
