Research Interfaces

At the 4D Research Lab, we aim to make data as open accessible as possible while providing opportunities for collaboration and interactive viewing.

Many of our projects are therefore disseminated to audiences through browser-based viewers or apps with functions for analyzing 3D models, interacting with virtual environments, or annotating models in order to contribute to and enrich the datasets.

 

Projects

3D Workspace

2022-2023

A 3D platform to facilitate re-use of 3D models through the addition of annotations and narratives, as well as side-by-side comparison of multiple models, within an online app environment adapted from the open source Voyager platform. It will allow data enrichment by enabling multi-authoring through the built-in annotation system, as well as through linkage to datasets.
