text cube 1
« on: Jul 17th, 2003, 12:31pm » |

taking 6 arbitrary pieces of text, making them scrollable and mapping them onto the faces of a virtual-track-ball-user-driven cube...
http://www.chronotext.org/bits/034
source code: http://www.chronotext.org/bits/034/text_cube_1.java
this bit of code is based on several tools i've been developping during the past months:
- scrollbar:
http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/board_Tools_action_display__num_1053620521.html
- arcball:
http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/board_Tools_action_display__num_1056449368.html
- text buffer:
http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/board_Tools_action_display__num_1058437808.html
i hope to continue developping the direction of text mapping, onto additional kind of volumes, and also with the concept of one scrollable unit of text split onto several volumes...

a note in gebbrish, added later: this one should be optimized, since i don't really need 6 800x800 buffers, but only 3... (6 buffers would have been needed only if i had implemented a faster "virtual scrolling")
---
added even later, in english: the previous note is not exact, but neverminds... ha! talking to the you of yesterday and using public forums as personal blogs...

wow. this is the best interface work i've seen so far here....
will be interesting to see if you can find a good application for this. could be a nice way to present multiple threads revolving around the same topic. makes for an interesting spatial perception of a non-linear verbal timeline.

thanks!
i have many applications in mind, related to epistemology (how we know what we know) and text (both read and written) as time-based media...
but these days, i'm mainly doing the "dirty job" of writing the foundation classes for all this forthcoming carnaval...
(well, i've started in parallel with a friend, the writing of an academy-oriented paper... who knows...)
"live" coverage of this project named chronotext / chronolog at: http://www.chronotext.org
everybody is invited to send feedback, ideas, bits of code, etc., f'course!
