+The resulting data is than imported into unity using a csv-file and for every data-point a billboard-text of the word is generated. This process is repeated for every text.

+The world in Unity that the viewer walks through is generated using tileable noise as displacement for a plane. As the user walks through the world, new chunks are generated on the fly thus giving the illusion of an infinite world.

+The grass, cuboids and word-spheres are generated and distributed per tile using seeded randomness.
+Every tile has it's own noise and therefore distribution pattern of the objects, making the world even more endless.
+A swarm of letters using the boid-algorithm guides the player through the world and towards the word-spheres. The close the view-direcition of the viewer is to a word-sphere the more letters are in the swarm and the closer they fly to each other. The boid-algorithm simulates the behaviour of birds by enforcing simple rules for every boid like seperation, alignment and cohesion towards all other boids. A compute-shader is used to speed up the simulation process.
