This week we're doing a pilot episode to explore parallels between video game design and data visualization, in terms of narrative structure and UXUI, and how we can apply some of these cross learnings to make data visualization a bit more fun. Because similarly to video games, the more your business stakeholders are engaged, the better feedback loop between insights and actions.

We have Lucas Oliveri to join us in the first of a three-part series, to share with us what makes a User Interface (UI) a good User Experience (UX) from the lens of video games.

It only took a century of animal poaching to realize the damage us humans are doing to our environment. It's not a pretty topic but something that requires careful data representation, and that's exactly how Dan has approached this. Join us this week as he shares his late grandmother's life mission to help these elephants, and how changes are being made today, and how you could potentially make some difference.
