Ambient Orb - The Cool Dashboard

We live in a visual age.

How do you deliver complex data intended to change behavior? Ambient Devices (with a cool website) has developed a unique and strangely effective tool.

Plenty, a media source for sustainability, explains how Southern California Edison experimented with the Ambient Orb reduced energy consumption by 40%.

What additional uses can you think of?

• Product managers could see if they were on target by the color of the orb.
• Safety goals can be displayed with the orb.
• Company carbon objectives can be tracked.
• Customer satisfaction and the list is almost endless.

What metrics can you think of that would communicate the success or struggle of a project?

Consider the mindshift this represents for communicating complex data in an immediately accessible and intuitive way.
