while exploring data from the EDD (v8k catalog), i built a 3d redshift survey map (what is redshift? what is a redshift survey?). visually, the data resembles an explosive chemical reaction (because it is?) and if you look at it for long enough you can start to see paths and networks. changing the colors coaxed out more interesting patterns.
the photos really don’t do it any justice, so once i clean up the code i’m going to release a live version.

(via Modern Polaxis - Augmented Reality Comic Book and App by Sutu — Kickstarter)
Hi! I’m Sutu. I’m an interactive comic artist and the creator of the Webby Award winning Nawlz and the FWA winning NEOMAD. Today I’m creating a new story with my own new technology. This is MODERN POLAXIS an Augmented Reality comic book.
The story is about a paranoid time traveller known as Modern Polaxis. The book will be presented as Polaxis’s private journal. Polaxis writes about his day to day life, but all his secret information, his paranoid delusions and conspiracy theories, he hides away in the Augmented Reality layer.
