Notes

Project Ideas

• sleep apnea/ mouthbreathing

  • Three-dimensional photography for the evaluation of facial profiles in obstructive sleep apnoea 

  • computed tomography data 

  • predictive value of 3d photogrammetry for sleep apnea 

    • maybe apply this to mouthbreathing in general

    • can be used for educational purposes?? Visuals are influencing to parents

    • 3d slicer, AmirA

    • population demographics? How neg are its effects?

      • action 1: finding data on sleep apnea/mouthingbreathing metrics, 

      • action 2:

      • action 3:  creating a predictive visual/tool that can show face morphing due to mouthbreathing (may only be actually relevant for children who are still in their primary develepment processes though...)

      • class activity:

• lunar cycles in predicting volcanic eruptions or a dive into how moon phases affect the tides.. or sleep?

  • NOAA Tide DataSets 

  • Tidal triggering of earthquakes and volcanic events 

  • Sensitivity to lunar cycles prior to the 2007 eruption of Ruapehu volcano 

    • action 1: analyzing past data and correlational data between seismic events and tide cycles (ViSit?)

    • action 2:

    • action 3: implement a visualized prediction, on scale, between tide and volcanic eruptions?

    • class activity: demonstrating the use of the predictive tool by manipulating correlational data

• epidemiological study of hookworms vs human autoimmune response

  • cross-analysis of hookworm eradication in the US, autoimmune disorder prevalence, education/agriculture

  • world-wide population study?

  • DISEASE AND DEVELOPMENT: EVIDENCE FROM HOOKWORM ERADICATION IN THE AMERICAN SOUTH

    • action 1: amalgamating U.S. data on hookworm eradication, autoimmune disorders, and economic factors (mainly work and education) to analyze further with population and time demographics

    • action 2: using blender for 3d visualization (ex)

    • action 3: understanding how hookworm affects the body ()

    • class activity: creating a (n interactive?) simulation from the eyes of a hookworm on its lifecyle through the human system?

• evaluating Toxoplasmosis gondii's influence on human neuro systems

  • Latent Toxoplasmosis gondii: Emerging Evidence for Influences on Neuropsychiatric Disorders

    • action 1: using MRI data and 3d slider (vs tomopy?) to visualize brain mapping- toxoplasma cysts in the brain and grey matter distribution

    • action 2: full comparision chart of different VR modeling softwares

    • not much is known as to how it affects the brain...

• evaluating spotify + how music affects the brain/ influences demeanor

  • action 1: population and age metrics - can what different age groups listen to hold predictive power? genres + artists by both location and volume

  • action 2: virtual music + spotify web api + MRI 3d visualization software to visualize how different music shapes the brain or holds influential power

  • classroom activity: interactive environment where users can listen, react and compare with other users?

• coral reefs/beach cleanup

• Select one project from your list of potential projects and create a plan for your project. This project plan should have milestones to be delivered on 2/15, 2/17, 2/22 (2/24 is a holiday), 3/01, 3/03, 3/08, and 3/10. The project plan should include activities that span from February to the middle of March

• The reason tidal triggering has been so controversial over the years is that it’s incredibly hard to see [in seismic data]

• https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/ngdc.html

milestones:

2/15: have decided on which areas to focus on + located usable data [past earthquake bounds, past volcanic bounds, current areas of concern?]

2/17: have concrete metrics from data to focus on for use - (could I use x to influence 3d models?, how to best visualize tidal data/more discrete tremors, etc.) visualization rather than prediction?

2/22: (based on 2/17)  formal comparison of different visualization tools [are there software to automatically generate, modeling with Blender+Unity?]

///EDIT: Should 2/22 be for mid March ? to have a fully drawn out comparison before beginning the actual modelling implementation? I'm not certain of the doability of my march plans(below) in this time frame

3/01: have some sort of 3d photogrammetry/visual model complete in terms of tide cycle with extensibility to be morphed

3/03: 3/01 but for representation of ground layer

3/08: use data to implement simulation?

3/10: have data visualization in VR that can actually [potentially a video type demonstration for now? - next goal would be to implement more interaction..] 

in class activity: assessing comparison from 2/22 and getting feedback, or later on - assessing VR visual from 3/10

Datasets

NOAA - Tides in the US ; XML/JSON/CSV - cannon beach - closest is cape dissapointment https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/noaatidepredictions.html?id=9440581 (predictions & water levels)

WashU axial seamount catalog - daily HYPO71 data (computer program for determining hypocenter, magnitude and first motion pattern of local earthquakes)

data on volcanic unrest 

potential deliverables: [what future readers of the wiki will look at and learn from]

• • add use case examples/visuals where missing to the different softwares listed on the wiki

  • perhaps a yes-no flowchart/butterfly chart to help look at vr software that best matches their purposes

brainstorming software evaluation metrics:

• • ease of use (implementor)

  • intuitiveness (viewer)

  • expansion of ideas - to what extent does the software open new ways of thinking about the subject, or new questions?
