Project 2

Visualizing multi-dimensional earthquake data in passthrough, with haptic feedback

Aarav Kumar

Wiki Additions:

• Comparison page on software and tools for integrating haptic interaction with Meta Quest (Bezi vs Unity vs WebXR)
• Assessment criteria + usability target for (my) haptic AR earthquake models
• Tutorial on how to integrate haptics into a project in Unity (or additional software) using different SDKs (compare these SDKs)
• Wiki page on applications of haptics and sensory stimuli in AR
• Wiki page on 3D mapping development tools for visualizing geospatial data (software/tool comparison + analysis)

• Focusing on earthquake data from a particular region (Himalayas/California/etc.)
• Aiming to visualize a range of variables simultaneously (scale, magnitude, impact)
• Base prototypes on research of limitations of current visualizations for real stakeholders
• Visualizing data on a scaleable + interactive map (incorporating haptics)

Activity & Timeline

Comparing two (or more) models in passthrough

• First model: Data visualization of earthquakes in a particular area, showing their scale and magnitude (only), with haptic interactions
• Second model: Data visualization of the same earthquakes, with several more variables (depth, economic impact, distance), with haptic interactions
• Third model (?) : A combination of the first and second model, but without haptic interactions
