Running log data converted to infographics! The release of the iOS app “RunGraph” to make your running life more enjoyable.

Visual design studio WOW Inc.(headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Hiroshi Takahashi) and Frontage Inc. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Toru Okada) have jointly developed the iOS app“RunGraph”for the population of approximately 10,000,000 running enthusiasts※1, cycling and motorcycle touring enthusiasts, which will visualize running log data※2 into proprietary infographics.

With the popularization of running, the variety of running events have increased, and the diversification of involvement in running has spread, from the everyday practices of running to enjoyment of running events. But the majority of running apps have never been particularly dedicated to designing the visualization of running log data. RunGraph, by aesthetically displaying your running log data in a functional run graphic, allows you to more deeply and easily enjoy your running results. Furthermore, through the use of social media, you can share your run graphics, and boost your enjoyment of communication of data with your running and touring mates. RunGraph was created not only for the enjoyment of running and touring enthusiasts, but also to bring a more enjoyable running and touring lifestyle to event participants, organizers, and other interested parties. 

•  A run graphic generated from a proprietary algorithm

Because this proprietary algorithm is automatically generated from running log data, you will receive your very own unique run graphic. The currently developed graphics encompass these 4 types. (plans are in place to add more as the need arises) 

2D Route (plane view)

Your running route is visualized in 2D(plane view). The trajectory of your run will be displayed simply like a subway route map. You will be able to verify the pace of your run through the changes in color throughout your route.

3D Route (stereoscopic view)

Your running route is visualized in 3D(stereoscopic view). Differences in elevation will be displayed three-dimensionally, and changes in your running pace will be conveyed in color. Your running efforts will be verifiable through shape and color. Furthermore, by rotating your 3D running route, you will be able to display your route from a variety of perspectives.

Intensity (graph)

Variations in your running log data will be displayed through the sizes of graphical and diagrammatical data. Variations in your running can be verified on a time axis.

Time

Your running time will be displayed simply through typography. By trimming the type you can enjoy varying the design.
