Deathstar visualizes deaths in Ghent.
I created Deathstar as part of my final school assignement in year 1. Unfortunately it was turned down. What's posted here is the full project.
The project is written in the Processing language, which is based on Java.
Using the sphere function baked into processing data from a JSON file is passed through.
The sphere shapeshifts according to the relative deaths in a certain area.
The JSON file used is a file from OpenData Ghent which contains deaths between 1999 and 2009 (not so up to date Ghent…)
- As for the current state of the project it's just a sphere rotating over certain axis'.
- For test purposes the shapeshifting of the sphere has been mapped to the arrow keys.
- JSON passing-trough is yet to be implemented
