Purpose
To create an infographic of all 88 IUA constellations, and to include the dark-cloud constellations too
The plan is to have several parameters:
A -180 to +180 slider set to 0 to represent the compass, switch the degrees to names
A month selector, this shall instead lighten/darken constellations that a viewable on a clear night from your locations
Northern/Southern hemisphere switch
The ability to switch between constellation or dark-cloud - this will probably be a window switch as the constellations shall be painted on an inky-blue background, where the dark-cloud formations might be better represented on a light background
The dashboard might benefit from an altered Datawonders logo set painted in grey hues to sit on a dark background
Layout / Wireframe
The plan is to draw each constellation side-by side on a horizontal plane, that moves in line with the compass slider something similar to Skyrim’s character build screen. Users must be able to select a constellation to learn more:
A large scope box beneath the main constellation belt will re-compose to the selected constellation.
It will be great to make use of Tableau’s animation function here to re-arrange the points on selection
Two more panels are to be included:
One beneath the central scope to provide a description of the constellation, possibly including an image of exactly what constellation represents
A slide-in section to the right on a show/hide button to provide quick-data such as discovery date, discoverer, antiquity etc
