zTree Wellesley HCI Project

Welcome to the zTree wiki!

zTree was created by Cassie Hoef for Wellesley HCI's iGEM competition in Summer 2013. The application was designed for the zSpace, a stereoscopic 3D display. It was built in Unity3D and coded in C#.

The goal of the project was to test 3D representations of hierarchical data and make them interactive. The data visualized was pulled from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts (http://parts.igem.org/Main_Page). Inspiration for the structure came from Xerox PARC's cone trees.

In order to run this program, you must have a zSpace device and Unity3D. If you do not have these things, please feel free to check out my demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1_XVnz1VCg
