Internet Explorer 3D Memory Visualization

I decided to play around with IE and see how well I could adapt WPF to a systems application. This was my first try, so it sort of looks like an alien toothbrush or something, but it get’s the idea across.

It’s essentially a height map, and a mesh, pretty basic; I haven’t calibrated it to operate on the heap exclusively or anything like that. I just wanted to start playing around with 3DTools. I’m giving a presentation at BlueHat in a week or so, but I totally have all this done already and I’m just going to blog about it bit by bit — right!!

I like some of these visualizations quite a bit;

• http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/project.cfm?id=244
  
  • I’ve got a reason for likening that one, more on that later
    
• http://www.processing.org/exhibition/index.html
  
  • This site’s got lots of neat conceptual stuff, not WPF, but I guess it’ll do…

  • Not really visualizations, more diagramming right?
    
  • I’m going to see how well my native C++ version comes out in the next day or so too
    

Anyhow, my first real blog post ever!
