Rethinking Codecity

In this presentation, I proposed the adaptation, reconsideration, and improvement of Codecity using the current technologies related to the 3D, Virtual Reality (VR) and Extended Reality (XR) inside the web environment. We will also show the analysis of the other and newer implementations of Codecity, analyzing their drawbacks and their advantages according to the first version.

2. Content Introduction Current Research
3. /Introduction CodeCity: 1. OOB programs 2. Visualize code as city = city metaphor a. Orientation b. Location c. Habitability Metrics: - Classes as buildings - NOM (number of methods) is the height - NOA (number of attributes) is the depth/width - Color as package level https://wettel.github.io/codecity.html
4. /Introduction https://wettel.github.io/codecity.html
5. /Known-limitations Codecity strongly bonded to analyze the program structure. Non-fixed layout, city changes. Interaction with VR

7. /First visualizations https://dlumbrer.github.io/aframe-babia-components/examples/multichart/
8. /Future work Reproduce Codecity with its original metrics - WIP
9. /Codecity on A-Frame https://dlumbrer.github.io/aframe-babia-components/examples/test_areas/
10. /Future work Reproduce Codecity with its original metrics - WIP Reproduce other metrics that have been proposed by other researchers.
11. /Future work Reproduce Codecity with its original metrics - WIP Reproduce other metrics that have been proposed by other researchers. Use metrics further than OOB structure metrics
12. /Future work Reproduce Codecity with its original metrics - WIP Reproduce other metrics that have been proposed by other researchers. Use metrics further than OOB structure metrics Extend the city metaphor fixing the layout, analyze time evolution… and why not other metaphors
13. ”How software can be represented in Virtual Reality?”
14. ”Can this be an entry point for a Virtual Reality IDE?”
15. ”Can a stakeholder/manager/dev eloper learn the city of its product/program, and can they analyze it with the city?”
