What kind of plots can you make with this? This has real potential in the big-data and scientific fields. Plotting is hard and if you can easily tie together many data sources and models that are popular onto time series and geospatial plots this will be a winning combo go scientists.


You can connect to our data ANY HTML/JS compatible visualisation. Moreover Luna has some basic (and they are getting better with every day) bindings to drawing over webgl canvas, so you can define visualisations using our nodes. We will be showing examples how to define efficient heatmaps / custom plots using few nodes interactively in Luna. We will be more than happy to collaborate with you and anyone interested in data visualisations soon, so lets stay in touch! :)


If you can, internally, handle adding together multiple data sources you'll win in the academic space with something like this. Especially if you can choose a Python syntax for the "code" portion.

In scientific spaces you have many data sources that all mean completely different things. They are all recorded in different coordinate spaces (mag, distances, polar, etc) and you want to plot many of these things into the same plot and have them go where they were meant to be.

If you could generate 3D plots as well just by flipping a switch that would be a huge plus. The hard part is that we have many modeling softwares that are written in strange ways and in strange formats. One example of a very popular model with a difficult interface is the IRI (http://irimodel.org/). If you could just link a node of "IRI" into "Earth Plot" then that would be awesome.
