AR Pandemic Vizualization Using Spatio-temporal Data

AR Pandemic Vizualization Using Spatio-temporal Data

engineeringBy Jackson Barnes

Created an AR visualization that maps pandemic simulation data onto a 3D globe, showing how a 1918-style flu outbreak would spread in modern times - developed in partnership with the Institute for Disease Modeling to advance infectious disease research.

While working on an AR medical application and with The Institute for Disease Modeling, I had the opportunity to write one of my favorite programs that takes the raw output of a binary file which contained the spatio-temporal results of a predictive data model that was used to simulate what a 1918 flu pandemic would look like in the 21st century and map it to a 3D globe in AR to show the exponential spread of the virus over a 6 month time period.
