Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker - Hardcore
Someone mentioned they'd like to see 3d charts a while back so I had a try to see how they'd look. 2 hours ago:
Obviously, it's a work in progress. Thoughts?

Nice work, very cool
How big a step would it be to animate this so we could visibly see walls moving in 3D ? That would be ubercool
Dare I say it, but it would be bit like a ripple
It could be done but not really in a way that could be posted as an image in this thread. Maybe as a flash thing or something?
I did some experiments using webgl 4 weeks back. It's a lot of work to get it right. Data collection is one thing: if you want the full depth finer than 12 minutes (magicaltux allows 5 polls of fulldepth per hour) you'll have to incorporate websocket depth message data. It's a lot of data to hold and you want to access different timeframes and resolutions so you need quite the machinery to be able to supply that in a timely manner. As for the visualization itself I have come to the conclusion that I'd definitely want to use height lines (height = amount) as opposed to a fixed x/y grid (x = time, y = price)
here's an example from early april
I dropped the idea for now, too much work to make it good enough.
