We are all of us :)

That's awesome! VR has lots of potential but i'm not (and it's not) there yet. Your project sounds really novel. I've equated mine to a 3D database because you can do inner/outer joins, search, filter, and materialize "views" in 3D space.

I'm nearing a demo stage, been at this for a few years - but wow will i need to revisit my code before I expand on future development - it's a lot of code to sling and compared to my day job doing web dev in MVC, leaves a lot to be desired architecturally.

Great job on blogging about your project - i need to get better about that.

Seems we are. I also hacked at something similar - json being yaml in my case - that turns into a weird threejs 'tower'. I used it to 'loci' encode a couple of data sets - mostly the AWS WellAF. https://waf.fudless.xyz and a blog post that goes with it, https://fudless.xyz/misc-memoholics/

This is great stuff - I'm impressed with how far you were able to take things in the browser. I also toyed with a tower concept - one of the things I settled on was what matters is data leading to data; to get to Y, i have to go through X first. So towers are a natural way to do that. I also think you have remained focused on staying true to the method of loci approach, which is admirable.

Additionally, I think having this sharable and on the web opens a lot of possibilities. I hope you keep working on it.

But man, that color change on your blog really messed with me. I have F.lux installed which adds warmth to whites to help with getting to sleep at night or as daylight changes and your site is like a rapid version of that. I'd prefer either not that at all, or at least scroll position based.

Threejs is awesome. Good idea, thanks - will keep the scroll fader in mind for my next blog iteration (when gridsome finally updates). I couldn't make up my mind on background color so I randomized and fade bounced. I sure as heck aint going to win any UX prizes for that ;)
