Science Map

Project Description 

Visualize 170 million published science academic thesis in an interactive artistic map, collaborated with a group of researchers, professors, and software developers

Group Members

Xueqing Wang, Alec Mcgail, Reece Riherd

Timeline

Sep 1 2021 - present

Our group focuses on visualizing millions of academic science thesis in an interactive artistic map. I mainly focused on the design and implementation of visualization.

I only put my current work on this page. 

Ongoing Project

Idea 2: Using Color to represent space

My idea is to convert the 3d vectors of each thesis into RGB color and assign the color of their 3D coordinates to them

Idea 3: Using 3d vectors to represent 2d vectors' color

My idea is to use the 3d vectors of each thesis as RGB colors and assign the color to the 2d coordinates. And Rotate the 3d space.

First Version

This Gif shows the change in 2d images when 3d vectors rotate from 0 degrees to 360 degrees.
