When I thought about how to present data as I was classifying my data in the swamp of excel, the image that’s first crossing my draft was like the one showing beneath:
I was a little scary by this thought — it supposes to be considered as a “forbidden forest” in terms of visualizing data. The motto is “be really conscious when visualizing data in a 3d form”.
But what if we can use a graph like this as a “3d button”, and toggle it with multiple 2d charts like just grabbing a piece of charts and put it onto an area to look into details?
I wonder is there a way can enable users to do that on a webpage?
And furthermore, how I achieve this effect in the 3d immersive context?
Start from this point, I began to think about what exactly does it mean to design a 3d interface? What are the possibilities of 3d interface?
Here is an example of a 3d interface.
However, besides interacting with the interface in a 3d way which is more intuitive, more like our behaviors in the real world, the structure of the “interface” per se might be also expressed in a 3d form. And it can be both intuitive and abstractive.
