In this live presentation from NAB 2017, freelance FUI designer Robyn Haddow breaks down her techniques for two projects. The first is a visualization of a "Data Cube" which stores all of the information about a person in a style inspired by DNA sequencing. The second project is a futuristic semi-mechanical interpretation of the DNA molecule.
