I've always liked looking at these, but I know I'd quickly replace them with something more information-dense

    Same. I love graphs and numbers, and I don't understand why everyone else seems to prefer cartoons.

    Still, if your goal is to get other people to like ha as much as you do, then catering to their aesthetic is key.

    I Guess it makes more sense for a dashboard that is used by a mounted screen, especially if you want to impress guests (or just like pretty screens)

    I have something similar as the main screen for my dashboard solution.

    The 3d floorplan gives you quick acres to most things that can be toggled but olif you tap and hold you get a level deeper and see all the graphs and figures.

    Like ogres and onions it's all about the layers.

    I do this for our access control and security software at work. Our SOC gets high level overviews and can drill down to individual sensors whenever they need to. Theres an art to keeping things clean and simple.
