Hello folks,
My neuroscience lab and I were thinking of trying something new for data/results visualization/reporting.
The majority of research papers is distributed in PDF, you can embed 3D objects in the document, and animated images are possible with Latex. But SWF may be the way to go for interactive content in PDF, and also on websites.
I attached a GIF of a draft of what we were thinking (without actual 3D brain activity animation), and here a JPG of an example 3D brain activity animation that we can create in Matlab/Blender. The idea would be to create an animation of the brain that can be rotated in 3D (using Unity or Esquimo or other?) surrounded by a 2D frame of data representations.
So, do you think it is feasible? Where do you figure it would be the best place to ask (maybe not on Newgrounds)? How much do you reckon it would cost to our lab ask a freelancer/professional?
Thanks
