Relating Tabular Data and 3d Models: Visualization Sap Flow in B2 Cacao Tree

Devin Bayly

Data and Visualization Consultant, University of Arizona

Certain visualizations for science communication have goals that require a more cinematic approach while preserving their connection to the original underlying data. Devin Bayly will explore this subject through the lens of a collaboration with Biosphere 2 Rainforest researchers exploring visualizations of a Cacao tree sap flow dataset. He will share information on drafting a development plan, tips about data preparation for integration with 3d models, mechanisms to ensure that the animation can integrate with other info-vis materials, and suggestions for integration with other media. Less of a “here’s how to do this for yourself”, this talk is more of a “this is how the process may look” and “what may be useful to keep in mind” when considering cinematic visualizations.
