eBay Marketplaces Visualization Kiosk

This internal project is the first steps in demonstrating the ways our large scale kiosk interfaces can enable employees and partners of eBay to explore the huge amount of quickly changing data that drives eBay and its massive marketplaces around the world. We used this work as an opportunity to explore experimental large touchscreen interface concepts, with the aim of providing responsive and powerful controls and insightful and inspiring views of the complex underlying datasets.
