Case Studies of Shareable Personal Map Visualization

Abstract

This paper presents two examples of personal data visualizations to be shared among peers. The visualized and shared data were travel destinations in Thailand and daily commutes in Bangkok, Thailand. The former gathered much attention with almost a million visitors within the first week after launch or approximately 2% of internet users in Thailand. Despite minimal data collection, large data samples of the first case study enable various analyses. The easy-to-use interfaces and simple visualizations can be a model of the genre of personal visualization whose main task is to share.
