I'm interested in using layers of space within a lenticular to represent different time periods. The further back within the image plane the data is placed - the further back in time the data. Life cycles of stars could be shown easily using this technique - posters suitable for GCSE science students/general public.
Topographic map I am also imagining that contour maps could be represented in three-dimensions - although the depth within in the image plane would not represent time in this instance. |
And what about weather maps? Depth within the lenticular can also be used to represent pressure or temperature.
I was introduced to the work of Eduard Tufte by Dr Phil Uttley last week who researched the graphic representation of data. All of this is intellectually interesting, but I don't yet have any emotional attachment to it. I would rather go back to working on three-dimensional family trees. This is perhaps though a secondary use for my research - and an arguement that it could be considered a contribution to knowledge.
