<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor my first 3D visualization, I wanted to start simple and see which data would be easier to visualize. I decided to plot dissolved oxygen on the x-axis and water temperature on the y-axis. However, I don\u2019t think this 3D model fully captures the relationship between dissolved oxygen and water temperature. There are some visible slopes that indicate either high or low water temperature, and the larger the radius, the more oxygen was dissolved on that day. Overall, I like this model because it clearly shows the amount of dissolved oxygen, and I think the design looks clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn my second 3D visualization, I aimed to create a bubble-like model, but my little brother quickly humbled me and said that they looked more like grapes! The radius of each sphere is determined by the air temperature in Fahrenheit. My main issue with this model, and with the next one, was the placement of the individual shapes. There were supposed to be smaller spheres on top, but they were enveloped by the larger ones. I struggled quite a bit with figuring out how to arrange them so that each sphere was somewhat visible and printable. Despite the challenges, I think this is my favorite 3D visualization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn my final 3D visualization, I struggled to come up with a new shape to represent the data. In addition to figuring out the design, I encountered difficulties with Grasshopper and my computer, some lines of code had to be rewritten because Grasshopper couldn’t open my saved files. Eventually, I decided to create cylindrical structures with varying heights and inner radius, and I was glad I managed to execute that. My main challenge again was the placement of each cylinder. To solve this, I manually moved the cylinders that overlapped and created the bottom surface manually as well. The height of each cylinder represents the secchi depth (water clarity), the taller the cylinder the clearer the water. The inner radius indicates salinity, while the outer radius reflects the overall water depth. I think the visualization looks better in pictures than in person<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dataset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I was unsure which dataset to use because I wanted to create a good visualization with the data. I had a few ideas, such as using pool inspections or water quality data from Albuquerque or Taos, but those datasets weren’t available. In the end, I decided to go with the water quality data collected by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The dataset includes information on dates, types of water bodies, environmental and water temperatures, pH, salinity, and water depth. For data cleaning, I deleted some empty columns and replaced empty cells with a value of 1, as setting them to 0 was causing issues when parsing and rendering the data in Rhino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Presenting large datasets through words alone can make it difficult for people to fully understand what the data is conveying. Using 3D objects to represent the data helps people better grasp its significance and how it might be affecting the environment or society. By explaining how the 3D object represents different aspects of the dataset, people can visually measure its impact and ask more informed questions. These 3D visualizations offer a more interactive way of engaging with datasets, which is not easily achieved through simple bar or line graphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/handandmachine.org\/classes\/computational_fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/all3.jpg\")
