Taking AB Media’s purpose statement, “Make every day more fun,” to heart, we also wanted to create a fun adventure for the audience to step into data visualization in an entertaining and unforgettable way. The Gallery of The Gamer is a powerful and immersive way to look at the six unique gamer personas that were identified as a part of the study. We crafted art pieces that represent each segment in a visceral way. Users can walk through the WebGL-based gallery to take in the art and further explore each persona. Written and VO descriptions coupled with data visualizations help communicate the detailed story behind each persona. The full research report is available for download for those who seek to unlock even deeper insights into the vast and nuanced gaming community.
