I am Shuxin(Amy) Zhang from Tianjin, China. I am a freshman at Trinity College. I plan to major in Asian Studies & Computer Science at Trinity. I hope to find a way to incorporate researches and technology together, and I believe my project on data visualization can help me on my way.
I will be working with Laura from CT Landmarks on an interactive map tour. I will be visualizing and digitalizing archives, artifacts and hand-written journals, which were previously owned by a world traveller over 100 years ago. My goal is to re-create his tour around the world, and add the data(e.g. 3d models of the attractions he toured, the pictures of artifacts he collected through the way, and all the pictures and journals he created along his journey) to the route, so that every pinpoint on the route has all the associated profile with it, and all information can be incorporated together in an interactive and fun way.
