EE interactive infographic (concept mockup)

The Living Force
For semester exams I had to choose a product to promote via a fictional campaign which would benefit from the use of 3d graphics. I chose to do an interactive info-graphic/encyclopedia add-on for supposed new version of an EE DVD, but it could just as well have been a stand alone or web based app. The app or info-graphics main idea was to be able to explore the different postures and vagus stimulation points in 3d, for the user to be able to slow or speed for example belly breathing to a pace preferred (as getting the hang of correct rhythm and feel of diaphragm may be tricky). But it also proposes serving as a 3d neural atlas, where you can get to know the different aspects of the vagus, brain and organs.

The video is in 2 parts; the first being a general idea; the second is a proposed navigation system (PC platform). This is not an attempt at graphic design, merely a conceptual mock up. I started doing an actual interactive demo (in Unity) but ran into difficulties and had to make a video instead, to make it for exam deadline. If time had allowed I would also have liked to demonstrate a database driven search interface as well as options for a game-play driven or guided approach to discovering the key elements of EE and the vagus.

I like it and is a nice idea. It could give the interested ones an overview, but also teachers imo.
 
That's a great mock up video. The interaction would also come in very hand when you're trying to explain EE to someone.

A little animation showing the stimulation of the Vagus nerve would also be cool :)
 
It is very engaging to watch in the context of EE and anatomy; a unique and creative idea for your exam parallel. :cool:
 
Very good Parallel!
(I had thought in a medical device that each user could see what is doing when practice EE. It's just a play that I used to sit and meditate, I have no way to do it today)
Congratulations for your creativity!
 
That looks very great, parallel!

It would be really nice if you could ever finish your demo :) Keep it up!
 
That is so cool! Very inspiring! I can imagine carrying that around in a tablet for demonstrations :)
 
Thanks guys, I'm glad you liked it. I think it would be a nice thing to have for mobile device people as well as visual learners in general; a combined vagus atlas and breathing guide for bite-sized relaxing and learning in a busy schedule. I would like to make some kind of version of it, but don't have the time or all the skills needed to do it by myself at the moment.
 
If I came across this without context I'd take it as a professional concept mock-up rather than a semester exam project.

Very promising piece of work. :knitting:
 
Nicely done! Slightly reminds me of Sims body shop, can see it being useful as an app. I like the idea of animation showing stimulation for the vagus nerve.

Great work parallel! I agree with SMM, that this would make a great app for phones. It's simple and clear cut enough to translate well to phone screens.
 
Hi Parallel,

Also like what you have done. Looks good and definitely see the benefits of using 3D for interactive information presentation.

By coincidence or synchronicity, for the past several years I have been working toward a similar approach (method not specific content). Currently it is a private endeavor that I hope to be able to discuss on the forum with the FotCM someday soon, and how it could also be of benefit for the group.
 
Although not what you where going for in relation to EE, there is an interesting use of 3D graphics and the Human body at:

It allows you to 'look under the hood' and view the basic systems of the Human body in an interactive 3D presentation. Its web based and free.

I was able to tag the Vagus nerve and give it a spin. :)
