IDAT209 - Stonehouse - Projection Further

Well after learing that our projection has to use some form of data streamed live off the internet i started thinking of what i wanted to use.

One idea that i had was to use the crime figures to display something in the area. I found quite a few different websites that shown me the area's crime figures, however these were fairly general to Plymouth. As well as being quite general they were also displayed monthly. To make a decent stream i reckon i will need to find some data that updates daily. Not quite sure where im going to find this though!

The websites i've been looking at for data are listed below.
