A grad student at MIT has found a way to take the source code of computer viruses and visualize them into a 3D space. This model is created from the source code of the NetSky virus, the only things added were the color and the lighting effects, everything else was created by the recurring patterns in the code.
I’m not sure how much computer scientists will be able to conclude about the inter-workings of a virus from the models, although it does make some cool art and may give a non-computer literate person a better metal picture of what a computer virus is.
