I’ve recently watched this really impressive talk at the SciPy 2015 conference where Sylvain Corlay demonstrates how he can uses a gamepad to navigate a 3D scene.
The really cool things here is that he does everything directly inside a Jupyter Notebook! All those examples are available in his github repositories. He uses Three.js for rendering the 3D terrain inside the notebook.
This is definitely something we should look into and why not develop our notebook widgets to integrate simple visualisation of our poppy creatures without the need of any external software!
Let’s hope my holidays will be rainy so I have time to work on this
