Prompt
Design a real-time data visualization experience

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts who are serious about improving often have complex workout routines and need to keep track of their progress. This means memorizing everything or carrying around a notebook and pencil, cellphone, tablet, or other device. Pair this with a handheld stopwatch or wrist watch and an iPod with headphones and you’re left with distractions that impair the quality of a workout.

Sketches

My sketches helped visualize where on the arm the tattoo would be best located for easy interaction and visibility. I also explored some gestured-based controls for hands-free interaction.
