Spheres/ Cubes: Assign a specific size (volume) to each number. Larger shapes represent larger numbers.
Height variations: Create a grid or platform where each point represents a number. Elevate the points along a z-axis according to the number's value.
Stacked shapes: Use blocks or similar objects to build structures. The height or number of blocks used can represent the value.
2. Color Coding:
Hue/Saturation/Brightness: Assign a unique color to each number based on its position on a color spectrum. Hue could represent the number itself, saturation its order (e.g., brighter for smaller numbers), and brightness its relative size.
Color Gradient: Create a gradient where one end represents a minimum value and the other a maximum. Numbers fall somewhere in between based on their position within the gradient space.
Number of Particles: Represent a number by the quantity of particles in a 3D space. More particles signify a larger number.
Particle Density: Vary the density of particles within a fixed volume. Denser regions represent higher values.
Particle Movement: Particles could move along a path or pattern, with speed or direction encoding the number's value.
4. 3D Text/Symbols:
3D Typography: Design unique 3D shapes for each digit or numeral, creating a visually interesting representation.
Layered Text: Layer text representing the number on a z-axis, with each layer slightly offset or rotated.
5. Interactive Representations:
Interactive Points: Create points in 3D space that change size, color, or position when interacted with, providing additional information about the number.
3D Scanning: Imagine scanning a physical object representing a number, like a sculpture with varying size or complexity.
