GRAPHICS AND DATA VISUALISATION -- 3
Budget: $85 – $120 USD
Deadline: 15th of April
Processing.org to be used only
The project consists of two main parts, designing the environment and developing the interactive 3D environment.
In this project, you are required to develop an interactive graphical application/program that visualises the population of the different cities within the UK according to three censuses (1991, 2001 and 2011) on a supplied UK map. The program must allow switching between the three sets of data. The data and image files to be used will be provided. You will also need to find the location of each city on the map and calculate its coordinates.
You must choose an appropriate technique for the data visualisation and provide a short rationale (400 words) of your decision.
The program should be in 3D but can use a mix of orthogonal and perspective camera projection with 700 by 800 window size. The program must allow panning of the map using the keyboard keys and mouse pointer, zooming in and out using the mouse wheel, and snap view by double-clicking a mouse button.
In addition, the program should allow the user to filter out some data to improve visualisation clarity.
You are expected to use Processing.org to develop this application. You can download the program for free at http://processing.org/.
So the deliverables are as follows:
1. The source code of a working visualisation program. Your submission must also include all external files required to run the program properly.
2. A short report containing your rationale for the chosen visualisation in PDF format. In this file, you are required to show your artefact pages and related actions. No details are needed. Do not add the codes and explanation of the codes. Only the pages and characters and how they are connected to each other in the scenes.
