Qronicles of Invention
We built an application that showcases Qualcomm's massive collection of patents that is informative and interactive. We utilized D3.js to visualize over 30,000 patents in a timeline format and allowed viewers to scroll and search for patents. The viewer can select the individual patent to reveal more detailed information about a particular patent. We also showcased the story of Qualcomm over the years with a story overlay that is also interactive.
Role:
Worked on all aspects of the application. Creating a packing algorithm for building the patent grid. Dynamic D3 scrolling that gives the application the ability to work even on a mobile device. Also creation of a CMS that allows Qualcomm to update all aspects of the application from stories to the patents themselves.
Tools:
Javascript, D3.js, WebWorkers, PHP, Node.js, Sql
