Sediment
An Interactive Session for HCI 2011
This personal side-project started in July 2009 shortly after attending a series of Design, IA & HCI conferences in London, England.
It originally intended to capture conversations trends, but later expanded to thousands of events & topics within the fields of Interaction Design and Experience Design throughout the Web and Social Media.
To date, the project captured over 268 million conversations, topics, links, tags & trends by millions of unique users across the world.
250+ million conversations patterns by thousands across the globe
The project aimed to help identify & visualize trends in language, conversation, sentiment, tone and different contexts through connected conversations within topics such as Design, User Experience and Interaction Design.
Exploring language, sentiment, patterns of use and the connected conversations within an environment
In 2011, the project was presented at the 25th British Computer Society HCI Conference in Newcastle, England.
The visualizations from the project provided insights to social sentiments & pattern use of language around the world.
The session was hosted at Culture Lab, part of Newcastle’s HCI community, and the centre for interdisciplinary creative practice at Newcastle University.
The project is currently being prepared for a public release.
