TL;DR
DataViz3D addresses the challenge of visualizing and preprocessing high-dimensional datasets beyond traditional 2D plots by leveraging holographic 3D modeling. It combines Three.js for web-based 3D rendering with Looking Glass holographic displays and Holoplay.js to deliver immersive, interactive data visualizations. The framework encodes multiple data dimensions through spatial position (up to three axes), plus geometry attributes such as color, size, and shape to represent additional dimensions, demonstrated on the Iris dataset. This approach promises improved interpretability and collaborative analysis, with open-source code available for further development and extension in data science workflows.
Abstract
DataViz3D is an innovative online software that transforms complex datasets into interactive 3D spatial models using holographic technology. This tool enables users to generate scatter plot within a 3D space, accurately mapped to the XYZ coordinates of the dataset, providing a vivid and intuitive understanding of the spatial relationships inherent in the data. DataViz3D's user friendly interface makes advanced 3D modeling and holographic visualization accessible to a wide range of users, fostering new opportunities for collaborative research and education across various disciplines.
