INACTIVE - http://mzl.la/ghe-archive - experimental VR interface to elastic search

elasticsearch-VR

What

Experimental VR interface to elastic search.

When

Project for the Mozilla winter break of 2017.

Why

VR scenes are fun to interact with, even more fun when they do real things like interface to other systems. This is an experiment to see if VR can be a useful interface into Elastic Search for discovery, querying, health/status, etc.

Stack

• a-frame.io for the webVR portion
• Windows Mixed Reality Headset
• Elastic search (in docker) for a target ES
• Python/flask for the middle/data driving tier.

The idea is that you would use the Mixed Reality headset to enter the scene and trigger basic interactions like:

• Connect to a cluster
• Visualize the cluster size/health
• Select indexes
• Get a visual representation of the index documents/fields
• Use the data dictionary for the index to craft queries
• Visualize the results as aggregations, details, etc.

What works

Basic VR scene loading.

QuickStart

Set the environment

set -a;source env.example;set +a

Start the app

python app.py

Use a WebVR enabled browser (firefox/IE) to navigate to:

http://localhost:5000/

Open the VR scene using whatever you have handy for VR, ideally one of

• Windows Mixed Reality Controller (since that's what it's tested with)

CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file missing

As of January 1 2019, Mozilla requires that all GitHub projects include this CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file in the project root. The file has two parts:

1. Required Text - All text under the headings Community Participation Guidelines and How to Report, are required, and should not be altered.
2. Optional Text - The Project Specific Etiquette heading provides a space to speak more specifically about ways people can work effectively and inclusively together. Some examples of those can be found on the Firefox Debugger project, and Common Voice. (The optional part is commented out in the raw template file, and will not be visible until you modify and uncomment that part.)

If you have any questions about this file, or Code of Conduct policies and procedures, please see Mozilla-GitHub-Standards or email [email protected].
