Human Data Interaction

Bridging the gap between complex data systems and end-users, using cutting-edge, user-centric data visualization.

What is human-data interaction?

Human-data interaction (HDI) is an advanced data-centric practice that prioritizes transparency, user-centric design and data visualization to maximize the value derived from data. HDI bridges the gap between complex data systems and end-users, making data more accessible, understandable, and actionable.
