Data Jump
Double 11 Global Festival
Live Data Stage
Cinematic immersive storytelling across multiple scenes.
First time leaving Alibaba's campus — broadcast live to the world from the Beijing Water Cube. A 3D data visualization product delivering 26 hours of uninterrupted live data to global investors and media across 200+ countries.
01 · The Challenge — From Charts to Cinema
At a global commercial moment like Double 11, traditional data charts can no longer carry the grand narrative of a "global festival."
We needed to present on a 21×10-meter screen at the Water Cube, in front of global media and investors, for 26 uninterrupted hours. How to transform billions of real-time transactions into a "film" with visual impact and emotional resonance — that was the central challenge. Not just a technical feat, but the ultimate pursuit of data storytelling craft.
02 · The Solution — Cinematic Immersive Storytelling
Abandoning the Dashboard
We abandoned the traditional dashboard approach and adopted a "cinematic storytelling" method. Through innovative 3D real-time transaction globe and 3D digital twin city technology, data comes alive. A "prologue-main-epilogue" chapter narrative structure creates a data storyline — letting audiences feel the global reach and participation of Double 11.
