Veduz Data Calculator

Veduz is a moonshot project with the goal of creating a new way to work with code and data on mobile phones, in VR and on traditional computers/tablets.

Some of the ideas originated during my master thesis in 2009, – and I am working on it on and off in-between other projects.

Some milestones/progress:

• 2022
  • Infix language with only binary operators (Behaves more like a traditional calculator, but language should scale).
• 2021
  • Stack based data calculator proof-of-concept
  • Box-visualised tree-based data calculator
  • Folding line-based data structure visualisation
  • Combining stack and tree-based interaction
  • Design of cross-platform input VR/keyboard/touch-virtual-key/touch-gesture/controller
  • Various language/compiler experiments and proof-of-concept
• 2017 Started exploring VR as possible target.
• 2016
  • https://demo.solsort.dk/2016/data-calc/
  • https://demo.solsort.dk/2016/data-flow-graph-visual/
  • Experiments with execution in web worker etc.
• 2014 Clear idea about how it is possible to navigate/visualise/time-travel the program execution/data-flow with purely functional data structures.
• 2009 Master thesis mobile programming language prototypes, and some of the basic ideas formed. Code as data structure, with bijective transform to canonical source text.
• Idea of working with list/mindmap-like datastructure

The idea is to create a data calculator and tree/list editor. It is a novel approach to processing data, similarly to how a calculator processes numbers, or how a folding text editor edits structured documents.

The implementation could be based/used on concrete use-cases such as:

• mind-mapping
• time logging
• traditional calculator
• collect, process and organise notes
• file browser
• ...

Interactive demo

Not at all usable yet,
– not even a beta-version...
