Sharpening Policy and Planning with Visual Analytics With Singapore’s growing population and limited resources, she faces many pressing challenges for progressive development and economic growth. These challenges span across housing affordability, rising healthcare, aging population, education/income inequality, and low birth rates. For Singapore to continue progressing, it is imperative that the government continues to take proactive measures to plan and utilise its resources effectively. In this fashion, we strive to use visual analytics to help uncover some of the cracks in and opportunities in Singapore’s social demographic to assist the government in sharpening its current policies and to look into future plans. This is well in line with the government’s effort of making socially relevant data public to encourage innovation and discovery. |

Visualising the Weather Climate of Singapore The weather reporting of Singapore has always been primitive and does not provide in-depth insights to the viewer. Although the weather in Singapore does not seem to be an essential part of everyone's lifestyle, the weather can play an important role in affecting one's health. Dr. Muhammad Eeqmal Hassim, a senior research scientist with the MSS Centre for Climate Research Singapore mentioned that “When temperature and humidity get high enough, our bodies struggle to cope. We get higher heat stress levels and it can be quite lethal for us.” In 2019, multiple media companies reported that Singapore is heating up twice as fast as the rest of the world. When combined with the island’s constant high humidity, it could be life-threatening. Professor Matthias Roth of the department of geography at the National University of Singapore (NUS) attributed the rising temperatures to global warming and the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. However, there was no data given to back up their claims on the changes in Singapore's weather. Our team aims to present Singapore's weather data in more user-friendly and meaningful interpretation ways. Through our user-friendly dashboards visualization, we hope to provide users in-depth insights, to identify the trends inherent within the weather data available and answer questions regarding the changes in Singapore's weather from available historical data. |

Visualizations and insights of software industry In recent years, there is massive growth in the software industry. In order to help prospective coders, such as ourselves, to better manage their expectations and make more informed decisions, it is crucial for them to understand what is in demand and also what to expect from this booming industry. Our project aims to provide a one-stop tool for users to have a glimpse of the current software industry so that they can better understand what are the skills and tools that are in demand and how they may be related to salary and job satisfaction. |

Visualizing the trends and pattern of video game sales The video game industry has grown massively over the years, with $2.3 billion in sales in the US alone in 2019. However, the industry has also shown signs of stagnation, with a 19% decline in sales from the previous year. With an increasingly saturated market and disruption caused by mobile and VR games, we aim to create an interactive platform to understand the trends of the industry and come up with insights to aid future and existing developers. |

Visualizing Sales Funnels for eCommerce websites to optimise marketing spend Rapid advancement of technology over the past few decades have brought forth many opportunities and convenience to mankind. In the world of businesses, especially marketing, it is extremely important to use various numbers and metrics to quantify and evaluate the standpoint of the company. This is made possible with the discovery of big data, analytics, AI/ML and the likes of data visualisation.
In this era, many companies in the marketing department rely on platforms such as Google Analytics to track their businesses. However, problem arises when they advertise across multiple channels, such as Facebook, Instagram, Email, and possibilities are endless. Decentralisation is one problem. Ironically, although Google Analytics houses large amount of data, oftentimes they do not provide useful and actionable insights relevant to the company. Hence, users are overloaded with the wide variety of data available that are reflected by a vast number of charts of which some can be complex and nugatory (i.e. chartjunks). To save time (sieving through chartjunks) and boost a marketer's productivity, we aim to develop a data visualisation dashboard that serves as a one-stop solution where users can derive knowledge and uncover insights required to judge the company's success. This will thus help them drill down to the root causes and take necessary actions. |

Visualizing HDB Resale Flat Prices & High value estates As a buyer looking for Resale HDB flats, it can be difficult to make a purchase decision due to the lack of information in the market. Information such as increasing or decreasing price trends over the years for each estate (e.g. Tampines) or submarket (e.g. 4-ROOM flats) could be essential in the decision making process. Current tools available in the market are insufficient to supplement this decision making process as they can be unnecessarily detailed resulting in the inability to conduct a high level analysis (e.g. Price trends for each submarket and/or estate). |

Visualizing the Imports and Exports of Singapore's Foreign Trading Singapore has long been the key transport hub in the ASEAN region. However, global developments such as the trade war between the US and China, and events closer to home such as Thailand building the Kra canal may shift the balance out of Singapore’s favour. It is key to correctly strategise in such uncertain times. We aim to be able to create new insight and actionable strategy as to how Singapore can maintain its position as a key transport hub. |

Visualizing HDB Resale Pricing Trends & Understanding its Characteristics In the past, Singaporeans would turn to the primary source giver of Resale housing information which is known as The Housing Development Board (HDB) to understand the changes in the housing real estate.
