The project is divided into three parts: The home page, the main application and the outlook.
On the start page, the user is given a basic understanding of the used terms and thus introduced
to the topic. An explorative behavior helps users to recognize the relevance and context of the
social injustice of water. This is possible on the second page, the main application. Here, the
user can find out the virtual water consumption of different products on a map or track the imported
and exported water. With the help of examples and hints, the own consumption is questioned and adjusted.
The Dynamic visualizations not only attract the user's attention, they also illustrate the issue.
The use of spherical graphics with organic movements also picks up on the attribute of water.
This Project was created in the winter 2020/2021 during the training course Data visualization of the master degree program Interactive Mediasystems at the University of Applied Scienes in Augsburg.
