对于科学界之外的许多人来说，大数据及其所采用的形式，如统计列表、电子表格和图表，往往显得抽象而难以理解。这本书调查了数字制造和传统制造方法如何被用来以新的有趣的方式呈现数据。
本书的第一部分介绍了数据对象的基本前提，以及将数字数据转化为物理形式的概念。贡献者涵盖生物特征、新技术、数据经济学以及数据的开放和社区使用等主题。第二部分介绍了数据对象应用的示例形式和上下文，如智能曲面、智能城市、增强现实技术和融合物理和数字元素的下一代技术接口。
制作数据传递了数据物理表示的重要性和未来可能的流行性。它探索了制作信息物理表示的创造性方法、过程、理论和文化历史，并提出将数据制作成物理对象是数据可视化现象的下一个重要发展。
Making Data: Materializing Digital Information
For many outside of the scientific community, big data and the forms it takes, such as statistical lists, spreadsheets and graphs, often seem abstract and unintelligible. This book investigates how digital fabrication and traditional making approaches are being used to present data in newly engaging and interesting ways.
The first part of the book introduces the basic premise of the data object and the concept of making digital data into a physical form. Contributors cover topics such as biometrics, new technology, the economics of data and open and community uses of data. The second part presents a selection of exemplar forms and contexts for the application of data-objects, such as smart surfaces, smart cities, augmented reality techniques and next generation technical interfaces that blend physical and digital elements.
Making Data delivers the importance and likely future prevalence of physical representations of data. It explores the creative methods, processes, theories and cultural histories of making physical representations of information and proposes that the making of data into physical objects is the next important development in the data visualisation phenomenon.
