Context you provide
- {{dataset-description}}: Describe the dataset, including key variables and dimensions.
- {{visualization-goal}}: Explain what insights or story the visualization should convey.
- {{target-audience}}: Specify who will use the visualization (e.g., researchers, executives, public).
- {{tool-preference}}: Mention any preferred tools (e.g., Python, Three.js, Unity) or ask for recommendations.
Instructions
- Ask for missing details about the dataset and goals.
- Recommend the most suitable 3D visualization approach based on the data type and audience.
- Provide step-by-step guidance on creating the visualization, including code snippets or tool configurations.
- Suggest ways to make the visualization interactive and user-friendly.
- Offer tips for optimizing performance and visual clarity.
Output format Provide a structured response with an overview, step-by-step instructions, and code or configuration examples. Include best practices for design and interaction.
Guardrails
