Replays Case Study

Replays transforms raw occupancy data into an animated timeline, letting workplace teams quickly "rewind the day" and see how people moved through their spaces. By combining dots for flow and heatmaps for intensity, it helps managers uncover peaks, bottlenecks, and opportunities for better staffing, cleaning, and compliance. Without digging through static reports.

Problem statement & the process

Defining the problem we're solving

Problem

Facilities teams could only see occupancy as either live snapshots or static reports. This made it difficult to:

Understand how people flowed through spaces during the day
Spot true peaks, bottlenecks, or compliance risks
Communicate insights quickly without digging through raw data

The solution

I designed Replays, an animated timeline of occupancy that lets teams “rewind the day” in seconds. With playback controls, dual views (dots and heatmaps), and space level filtering, managers can visually scan usage patterns, validate alerts, and make faster, evidence-based decisions.

A quick brainstorm

I explored different ways to make complex occupancy data simple to understand. From playback controls to visual styles and filtering options, these early concepts show how I tested multiple directions before landing on a clear and scalable solution.
