Proposed talk: triptych.js - 3D visualization of networks #3

Closed dexterpratt closed 11 years ago

dexterpratt commented 11 years ago

Triptych.js (www.triptychjs.com) is an open source (Apache license) library for building applications that display and manipulate networks in 3D. I'll show examples of how it can be used and describe ways in which it can serve as a substrate for experimentation with new graphic metaphors for presenting information.

Triptych.js was motivated by issues in dealing with networks that represent biological mechanisms, and so some of the examples will show networks in the OpenBEL language (www.openbel.org), but it is not biology-specific. Another example shows companies linked by shared officers and directors, driven by an RDF format database from the SEC, accessed by SPARQL queries vs. a Sesame endpoint. Triptych.js uses the three.js library.

This could be an awesome talk. Could you put together something about how you used three.js to put together your visualization? Maybe something to present alongside @jmjiru ( #5 )?

Thanks for the talk, @dexterpratt.
