Paper Trail is a Java application for visualizing technical papers accepted to the annual SIGGRAPH conference. The goal of the project was to create a dynamic tool for research and trend analysis by looking at the links between authors and affiliations, both geographically and over time.

The application was developed as a multimedia capstone project at Northeastern University with Alex Simoes and Dave Landry. This project was featured during Terrence Masson’s opening address at the 2010 SIGGRAPH conference in LA.
