About

I co-authored this paper alongside my colleague Jiayi Hong. It is a survey on techniques used in programs to combine 2D and 3D visualizations. These techniques range from using related visual encodings to developing rich interactions.

Website

We published a website that lets users browse the various papers we selected for the survey. The website was generated using a tool I wrote in Python.

The tool consists of two parts: an extraction script, and the website itself. The extraction script takes a directory of images, a .toml file, and a .bib file as input, and generates a mongoDB database that the front-end can query. The front-end takes all of this information and renders it using a nice set of React components.
