Countries - 3D Interactive Visualization
MAT 259, 2015
Rodger (Jieliang) Luo
Concept
This data visualization examines the popularities and classifications of the books with the title including one the following countries: America, China, Germany, India, Korea, and Mexico. Another goal of the project is trying to push the boundary of 3D data visualization to make it not just visually interesting, but also can present more information than 2D data visualization.

AND checkOutCount > 100
Preliminary sketches
With an interactive 3D data visualization, the challenge is how to use space and different dimensions to present different perspectives of the dataset. Hence, this project is more experimental than my previous projects, as I don’t really know what the final output will look like.
