How can you use data visualization to identify patterns in athlete performance?
When designing dashboards, I like to place my most important visual in the top left corner. In most cultures, people start reading from left to right so this is the attention-grabbing area. Here are some additional design considerations: 1. I remove anything that distracts the user's ability to understand the data aka chartjunk. 2. I make sure my tooltips provide clarity and provide value. 3. I make sure my colors serve a purpose and enhance data comprehension. 4. I organize and prioritize charts to help tell a compelling data story. 5. I use white space, consistent fonts, and sizes for a clean, user-friendly experience. 6. I avoid overwhelming users with excessive charts, preventing chart fatigue. Cheers!

How can you use data visualization to identify patterns in athlete performance?
I always like to say, if you show a dashboard to your users, and they ask how to export to Excel, you've missed the mark. One thing I've found helpful is having empathy and really understanding what your users need. Sit down with them, ask questions, and go through a few iterations. This lets them feel involved and helps you evaluate if what you're providing is actually answering their questions. You can continue to evaluate by monitoring the traffic to the dashboard and talking with your users. The goal is not just to create pretty charts but to solve and answer questions for your users and the business.

How can you use data visualization to identify patterns in athlete performance?
There are a few key considerations to make when choosing the right data visualization. Let's talk about a few common chart types and when to use them: 1. Bar Chart: Compare groups or track changes over time in a few categories. 2. Line Chart: Show trends over time in continuous data. 3. Pie Chart: Ideal for comparing proportions in a single category, but best with limited categories. 4. Gantt Chart: Useful in project management to display schedules and task progress. 5. Scatter Plot: Explore relationships between two continuous variables, identifying correlations or outliers.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for monitoring and displaying occupancy of a seating area, such as a theater. In a seating area there are chairs for use by patrons. There is a system and method for determining and communicating occupancy information to a display corresponding to the chairs in the seating area. On each chair there is affixed a wireless sensing device that detects when a patron has sat in the chair. When a patron sits in the chair, the wireless sensing…
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for monitoring and displaying occupancy of a seating area, such as a theater. In a seating area there are chairs for use by patrons. There is a system and method for determining and communicating occupancy information to a display corresponding to the chairs in the seating area. On each chair there is affixed a wireless sensing device that detects when a patron has sat in the chair. When a patron sits in the chair, the wireless sensing device sends an occupied signal to an occupancy monitoring computer system. The occupancy monitoring system changes the status of the corresponding chair to occupied and updates the output on the display available for viewing by all patrons. When the occupied state of the chair changes, the wireless sensing device updates the occupancy status at the occupancy monitoring system.
