Human-Centered Hardware Design website
Data 4 Design is a web application meant to aggregate and organize different data sets specific to geographical regions. These data sets are geographically based databases (such as population, climate, utility usage, etc.) provided by open source third parties. The data is to be organized by geographical region and displayed to a web user upon query for a specific region.
Data 4 Design is intended to assist designers and makers of physical hardware that is centered on improving the lives of those in need -- hence the name Human Centered Hardware Design. The data that the application centralizes may be of use to NGOs, university groups, and individual designers seeking to build things for humanitarian purposes. In future phases, the website may incorporate more localized and crowdsourced data
