Paradox Resolved interactive display (documentation). Producer: Dan Collins. Coding and interface design: Xavier Nokes. March 2023.
Fig. 1. Petri Dish with Salt Crystals. 3D model by Dan Collins. 2023.
Fig. 2. Central portion of Paradox Valley. Mesh model derived from 1 m contour lines processed in Cloud Compare. Much better results obtained with this technique rather than using PoissonRecon algorithmn for creating meshes from LIDAR point clouds (see for example Figs. 2 - 4).
Fig. 2a. Central Paradox Valley with color texture map. Geometry from TouchTerrain. Color texture from Google Earth. Image by Dan Collins.
Fig. 2b. Central Paradox Valley with color texture map. 3D color print using a Stratasys J55. Dimensions: ~3.5 inches square. Dan Collins and Garistyn Howard.
Fig. 3. 10000 Days of Salt. This image is a computer visualization of the projected amount of salt removed from the Dolores River by the Bureau of Reclamation between December 2022 and December 31, 2049. Each pillar represents one day of salt recovered from the Dolores River.
Figs. 4, 5, and 6. Paradox Valley. Detail looking North where the Dolores River cuts through the north wall. Fig. 3 at upper left is a point cloud of over 120 million points of LIDAR data at 1 m intervals. The green landscapes at lower left (Fig. 4) and at right (Fig. 5) are meshes derived from point cloud data and processed using PoissonRecon algorithm (images: Dan Collins)
Fig. 8. Interior of mobileNEWT -- an enclosed dual-axle trailer-based testbed, where nanomaterial integrated modular water treatment devices are designed, developed, and tested for drinking water applications. It provides a platform to assess these technologies’ operational feasibility at various field settings and for extended operational periods.
Figs. 9a, 9b, and 9c. Test output from Notch created by Xavier Nokes. Image at left (9a) demonstrates the use of Notch running inside of Touch Designer. Link to initial Notch experiments (9b) is at top right and can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yJ06URvCLY. Link to bottom right image (9c) is at https://youtu.be/uRaDXrDjEXs
Fig. 9d. Documentation of interface development. Gray rectangle shows details of the user interface which will be displayed on a 24 inch touch screen. Circular cloud on the right is an example of the large scale interactive image that will be shown on a circular projection screen. Work by Xavier Nokes.
