Project Description

Project Airscape is an application that lets you, the users, to track air pollution in Australia - and ideally find a correlation between air quality and ocean pollution.

Data Story

Our original idea was to create an application that would show both air pollution data, and ocean swell/current and pollution data, to see if the application could identify a correlation between the 2.

Due to time constraints, the current application simply shows you the air quality data for a searched location.

The application is restricted to eastern states (Queensland, ACT) due to the data available to us - however it would definitely be possible to expand this in the future.

We are utilising HTML 5 speech synthesis, to make the data more accessible to people with visual impairments, and to make the interpretation of the data easier on the user.

This application could be useful for people who are conscious of air quality, who are looking to move to a new location.
