Interactive visualization of a surveying instruction

DOI

This visualization presents the user with the subsequent steps required to solve a surveying problem, typical for 17th-century instruction books. The user is asked to determine the distance between two reference points that are inaccessible, on the other side of the 'river'. Only by following the correct procedure with angle measuring instrument, measuring chain, pencil, and paper, can the problem be solved.

The visualisations have been created within the project Dynamic Drawings in Enhanced Publications, a collaboration between Brill, HuygensING, DANS and WildCard.

This dataset is an archival copy of the visualization published on the Dynamic Drawings project website: http://demo-brill.dans.knaw.nl/

[Note: a screencast of this visualization will be added shortly]
