Overview
A sandbox for visualizations that read live system state — data that changes continuously rather than sitting in a database.
Two running examples: Energy Flower (Finland's electricity grid, updated every three minutes from Fingrid) and the TWINTYPE elevator demo (four-role view of a facility system). Both share the same core question: how do you represent a live, multi-variable system as something a human can read at a glance?
What's being tested
- Browser-native approaches to real-time data (polling, SSE) at different update cadences
- SVG versus WebGL as rendering paths for animated system state
- What level of abstraction is readable vs. what collapses into noise
Status
Running in parallel with the TWINTYPE engine work. Each visualization informs the next.
