1b – Storytelling with Data

In this video, Omar Fayed and Lyndon-Marc Adade from EarthX, and Andrew MacPherson from 3DEO talk about data visualisation and storytelling with data. Storytelling with data provides an easier way to clearly communicate the meaningful information that the data represents, which enables a better understanding of the data for a range of users. Using these techniques we are able to rapidly better see connections and make common understandings at a glance that would otherwise be difficult to express.
