The tool I selected for my tutorial is called Autodesk Inventor. Autodesk Inventor is a computer-aided design application for 3D mechanical design. Whereas the SketchUp program we used was geared more towards architectural and interior design, Autodesk Inventor is geared more towards product design and engineering. Although it is geared more towards engineering, I have […]

The internet is full of data processing and visualization software packages that allow people with relatively little computing experience to create polished looking digital projects. However, these softwares often want data in a very specific format which differs from package to package. Each new tool is like a keyhole that necessitates reshaping the data in […]
Data visualization is increasingly becoming a vital resource in presenting data and evidence in the humanities and social sciences (hence the subject area of digital humanities), where technology has traditionally not been used. For my group’s final project for the course, we knew that data visualization would be a key element to the completion of […]

By using blocks, widgets, and menus one can customize various aspects of a webpage without ever having to interact with HTML or CSS. That being said, this comes with some creative limitations being that you are forced to adhere to the templates and […]

W8: Progress Updates
Progress I have written all the descriptive content for our blog with some paired images and poems’ translations. Problems (and proposed solutions) Some poems do not have clear English translations. So we would find other kinds of visual content to enrich our blog Tools and techniques I basically searched through both English and Chinese Wikipedia […]
I an enthusiast of Chinese history. Since I’m haven’t taken any history lessons in Carleton, I see this final project as an opportunity to re-explore my high school interest. I hope I can use the tools I’ve learnt in this course to display poet Su Shi’s life stories in a much more vivid way than […]
My job is to find appropriate images of buildings that are 1) relevant to Su Shi’s life and/or poems 2) high-quality and model-able. At this moment, I am almost done with modeling Huxin Pavilion of West Lake, Hangzhou, China. Huxin Pavilion is a small pavilion in the middle of West Lake, one of the most […]

Progress:From our original idea for the project, we’ve adapted our project to yield some results that are a bit more conclusive and realistic. Instead of tracking the progression of a variety of Carleton teams over their histories, we’ve decided to focus solely on the Carleton football team. Given the longevity of the football team and […]
Progress As of the end of class Tuesday we have done our initial text processing in Voyant tools, which indicated to us we would need to do a bit more editing to the data in order to make it machine readable/effective in visualizing the program data. Our personal research has helped us begin making hesitant […]

Team PLM: Mike Kombate, Diana De La Paz, Gaby Lazo Progress Since our last blog post, our group has worked hard to develop a clearer theme to visualize with our project. We want to focus our project on a specific piece of media we found in the archives: “Carleton Today,” a film reel taken sometime […]
Buildings rise and fall, classes come and go, but the culture remains in place.
Members:Adam Loew, Nick Reeves, Andrew Lin Topic and Objectives:We are planning for our project to create an interactive timeline that shows the positions of Carleton sports teams within the MIAC conference at the end of each season over the years. We’d be using data from the MIAC websites to record the history of each team […]
For this final project, my biggest interest is on discovering Su Shi’s exact life journey by reading a lot of materials. I would need to search some original Song dynasty records and Su Shi’s own diary to make myself clear about those important locations in his life. This would be a good chance for me […]
