Research Visualization
Heatmap 3D
Interactive visual analysis of the keycube studies, with per-participant preference scores and finger reachability mapped directly onto the 3D device.
Explore the two study modes
Both visualizations share the same 3D model, but expose different interpretations of the studies.
Mode 01
Preference
Inspect individual participants or the mean of the full study. The viewer can isolate one face or show the whole keycube at once.
- Participant-by-participant selection
- Aggregate mean across all 22 participants
- Per-face filtering with on-key score labels
Mode 02
Reachability
Measure what each finger can realistically access, then compare totals, per-hand reach, or the best-performing finger for every key.
- Per-finger heatmaps
- Left hand, right hand, total, and best-finger views
- Dynamic range adapted to the selected dataset

Project context
The official site now hosts Heatmap 3D as a dedicated experience with its own entry in the main navigation, while the source code remains available for inspection.
