technical perspective http://slides.com/arturtrzesiok/k3d
Main goals
(so far...)
provide jupyter widget with 3d graphics
provide most demanded types of 3d plots
utilize ipwidget communication
allow for real time visualisation of big data
performance!
K3D
prototype, developed in september-december 2015
uses three.js
two separated repos in https://github.com/K3D-tools:
K3D-jupyter - interface with jupyter
K3D javasctipt part of the widget
matplotlib style of plotting (data rather than algebra)
Demo
You can open:
Implemented elements:
line
point
vector
voxels
voxel editor
text
texture
stl file
marching cubes
surface (on structured grid)
outlook
We need feedback from Sage/jupyter community
can this become a SageMath 3d backend?
are there any killer features to be implemented?
ODK can fund further development
