Demo: 3D Borg Cube
[Start 3D Borg Cube demo]

| Introduction |
 |
| Generated
in 1997 on a set of 200 electronic brainstorming
comments, this version of the self-organizing
map uses a 3-D representation to demonstrate
relationships between concepts. Developed
using VRML and JAVA, the premise behind
the use of the 3-D cubes is each concept
is able to have up to 26 neighbors,
rather than the maximum 8 neighbors
found in the 2-D representation. |

In
order to run this demo, you must have
the Cosmo Player VRML 2.0 plugin,
which is included in the full version
of Netscape 4 or can be downloaded.
Use the control bar at the bottom
to navigate through the interface.
You can choose to display the cubes
either in solid or transparent form.
A linear list of the concept is included.
Clicking on the right mouse button
on a concept in this list shows the
comments for that concept. Choosing
the transparent view and clicking
on the left mouse button on a term
in the linear list results in a highlighted
view of the cubes that contain that
term.
