CSV data to 3D

Merge spreadsheet data with models and positions to create virtual displays

Comment

Inspiration

Myself and many others manage sets of data with spreadsheets - how hard can it be to merge this data into 3D displays that I can view in VR? In general I feel a bottleneck between regular Joe programmers breaking through to create virtual content is the amount of time it takes to create and publish a "simple" project.

What it does

Contains a compiler and format to convert spreadsheet based data into 3D.

How we built it

Using Babylonjs

Challenges we ran into

Containing the amount of details it takes to display a point in a 3d display - models, texture, color, frames - external resources such as textures, meshes and sounds

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It works - checkout handtop.com - you can take 50 rows of a spreadsheet, and have each row display as something in a virtual scene

What we learned

Any project planning to have a 3D virtual interface will require a lot of thought and work to make anything look even decent

What's next for CSV data to 3D

Hopefully find some revenue streams to hire a team and keep iterating!
