DATA VISUALIZATION

Phone Usage Study

A 4-week personal experiment visualizing my phone behavior through interactive data.

How It Works

Each flash = one phone pickup
App frequency = proportional to usage time
Order = least to most used apps

Methodology

Tracked every instance of unlocking my phone and viewing the home screen over 28 days. Apps are ordered by usage duration, with flash frequency matching actual behavior patterns.
