VISUALIZATION   TOOL

Challenge  and  Selection

Visualization  will  help  in  the  better  understanding  of  the  problem  and  it'll  be    easier  to  put  forth  your  idea.  The  challenge  I’ve  chosen  is  waste  management.    There  is  always  an  issue  when  it  comes  to  the  segregation  of  wastes  into  dry    and  wet  waste.

Hence  to  come  up  with  a  solution  to  this  problem  I  used  visualization  to    portray  the  problem  along  with  the  effects  it  causes.  For  example,  if  wastes    aren’t  segregated  a  piece  of  plastic  mixed  with  biodegradable  wastes  will  take    ages  to  degenerate.  Hence  segregation  of  waste  is  extremely  important.

Application

I  started  by  creating  a  sketch  which  showed  the  consequences  of  not    segregating  wastes.  It  was  more  like  a  flow  chart  which  showed  the    consequences  of  waste  segregation  and  the  consequences  of  not  following    waste  segregation.  This  helped  me  to  convey  the  problem.  Using  the  same    tool  I  put  forth  the  ideas  I  could  come  up  with  to  make  segregation  of  waste    easier.  After  the  selection  of  any  appropriate  idea,  I  was  able  to  put  forth  the    prototype  as  a  simple  diagram  too  which  I  came  up  with  while  using  this  tool.

Insight  and  Approach

I’ve  learnt  that  visualization  helps  people  to  get  your  point  of  view.  It’ll  help    them  understand  your  approach  towards  the  problem  and  it  is  easier  to  lay    down  your  idea.  People  understand  it  better  when  information  is  in  the  form  of    visuals  be  it  stick  diagrams  or  random  doodles.  Thus  I've  understood  the    importance  and  efficiency  of  visualization.
