K-Biox Sphere unites Korean and global researchers with interactive maps of citations - fueling insights, breakthroughs, and collaboration. Events, Articles, Mentorship, - everything scientists need.

Comment

Inspiration

We got inspiration from the Korean research society worldwide and their contributions. We believe that we need a platform to connect experienced and talented scientists worldwide.

What it does

We have the following functions:

  • 3D visualization to connect researchers based on citations
  • Mentorship platform
  • Event platform
  • Live feed
  • Article sharing platform
  • 'Restaurants' connection

How we built it

Initially, we had a long problem identification and ideation phase to specify the problem we were solving. After setting the specific requirements, we created multiple prototypes and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each. We used typescript, javascript, react, firebase, and three.js to implement our code. We used GitHub as a collaboration platform to code at the same time.

Challenges we ran into

Broad problem setting was the main challenge. We had to specify what problem we were solving and how we could implement that on our platform in a limited time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Working code and friendly UI.
  • 3D visualization of researchers.

What we learned

How is the network of researchers set, and how we can represent it.

What's next for K-Biox Sphere

We are scaling on K-Biox members only. In the future, we plan to connect it to the global network.
