Re: LIDAR simulation

Very good idea with the visualization. These space bending transforms are often hard to visualize at first, but with a few samples, it is amazing how your head can then generalize and learn how to see the world as a ...

If you are looking to improve the UI, being able to see both the picture and graph at the same time would be a nice thing. That would allow you to scan the picture in your head and compare your intuition with the graph . For an even better demonstration, slow it down and animate a sweep bar around the picture and graph the mapped points over say four seconds.

Also, the double click is an OK trigger, but I'd suggest treating it like a map at the mall. Place a colored dot on it (you are here). Let the use click or drag to move the dot. Put in a default map with interesting stuff and always have something in the graph, and I think this makes a nice demo.

Good job.
