Cone for Reddit is a 3D visualisation of the Reddit community. This project uses the hierarchical structure of Subreddits, threads, and comments to display them in the ConeCanvas widget and maps vote data as a heatmap on the tree's nodes. Content is provided by a selection of interesting Subreddits.
The app visualises the structure of discussions and could be expanded to extend it with other measures than votes. I think it would be interesting to showresults from sentiment analysis or similar using the heatmap. What do you think?
The left hand side of the screen shows a 3d tree view of selected Subreddits, threads and comments. It allows you to navigate and select nodes in the tree by using the arrow keys on the keyboard or by clicking on nodes.
The right hand side shows content corresponding to the item selected on the left.
