Data collection is a daily practice in the 21st century but the stories behind the data are rarely unveiled. Data storytelling helps with interactive tools and narrative methods to show patterns that can help us make decisions.
People always find a way to share or to listen to an interesting story. A great example of this is the rose chart of Florence Nightingale, who created one of the first visualization that told a story.
The purpose of the hub is to strengthen not only basic methods but to experiment with new ones. Be it an interactive visualization or an XR environment, the aim is to create something that can help people understand the stories behind the data.

As data visualization becomes increasingly pervasive, a fundamental question arises: How can we ensure that experts and non-experts actively participate in the design process of data-driven storytelling? Our research proposal, in collaboration with HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research, seeks to answer this critical question by delving into the design space of data-driven storytelling and developing innovative co-creation tools to enhance science communication.

We were the first in the region to examine the role of design in the operation of companies.

Data is everywhere and making sense of it is becoming increasingly important. In this research, the focus is on how to involve non-experts in the data storytelling design process. The research aims to create new design tools for data storytelling, while also exploring ways to understand the effects and evaluate the experiences of different data storytelling strategies.

The history of Debrecen was fundamentally shaped by fires, which were frequent and devastating until the middle of the 19th century. The City of Debrecen, together with the Reformed Parish of the High Church, decided to commemorate these fires. Based on the minutes and written documents found in the Debrecen archives, Olga Kocsi was commissioned by MOME to create a data-based installation that showcases the history of the city's fires. Other MOME citizens also participated in the project, including researcher Mihály Minkó.

A research group at MOME Innovation Center, at the call of Albert-László Barabási, physicist and network researcher, have developed a joint project, in which a network drawing robot and an augmented reality (AR) application was presented.

This research aims to expand urban placemaking toolkits to species other than humans, combined with methodologies that prompt urban professionals to consider natural elements and ecological systems equal parts or users of the urban space.

Research Hubs

Interdisciplinary research group focusing on tangible technology, dynamic surfaces, biomaterials, electronic textiles and soft robotics. They develop prototypes, research fabrication methodologies and create new materials.

In the Immersion & Interaction Hub we are looking at the design gaps of the Metaverse-like environments and we strive to create such prototypes that can have beneficial effects on our mental health and also our daily life.

Developing and supporting practice based design research in order to seek opportunities for a more sustainable lifestyle and economy.
