Project Affiliation:


    University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)

Description:


    This project visualizes 3D vector fields with several techniques: short vectors attached to 3D lattice points, linear tracers, isopotential curves, etc. Of special interest is a large number of particles flowing through the field whose velocity is proportional to field strength. Examples are selected from the Lorenz Attractor, steepest descent algorithm, and more. Additionally, attendees can create their own 3D fields by combing a virtual space with a wand.
