Case Study: Polecat brings sentiment data to life with Kerve's interactive 3D aquarium

Polecat brings sentiment data to life with Kerve's 3D aquarium used by Shell, NHS and KPMG

The customer, Polecat, a provider of entity and sentiment analysis for global corporations, faced the challenge of designing a live data visualisation that could show the results of their mined online data ‘at a glance’. They engaged the vendor, Kerve, to create this solution.

Kerve designed an interactive live data visualisation using a real-world metaphor. The solution was a 3D aquarium, built with WebGL and ActionScript, where fish represented positive and negative sentiment. This allowed clients to understand complex data intuitively. As a result of this project, Kerve's virtual fishtanks were installed and put on display at the headquarters of major companies including Shell, NHS, and KPMG.
