The 3D Maps Of The Week

This calendar week I was truly impressed amongst an interactive map from Dublin City Council commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising.

The City in addition to the Rising features images, text in addition to videos that connect incidents in addition to events of the Easter Rising amongst locations across the city.This multi-media content is displayed on happen of vintage map of Dublin.

My favorite business office of The City in addition to the Rising has to move the incredible 3d maps which y'all tin stance of a set out of of import locations inwards Dublin. These 3d maps were made from archive photographs, maps in addition to documentary sources to recreate how Dublin truly looked inwards 1916.

Therefore amongst The City in addition to the Rising y'all tin non solely acquire to a greater extent than close the events that took identify inwards in addition to or in addition to thus Dublin's General Post Office (for example) y'all tin also explore the GPO in addition to O'Connell Street inwards 3d. In fact, if y'all bring an Oculus Rift headset, y'all tin stance the 3d scenes inwards virtual reality.


I was also impressed this calendar week amongst a 3d map of the London Marathon route, created yesteryear Emu Analytics, using Qgis2threejs in addition to edifice superlative & elevation data.

London Marathon 3D uses edifice superlative information derived from the United Kingdom of Great Britain in addition to Northern Ireland of Britain in addition to Northern Republic of Ireland Environment Agency's LIDAR data. The 3d buildings aid y'all to navigate the road in addition to the terrain elevation layer gives y'all a practiced thought of the few hills along the route. The elevation layer reveals how apartment the London Marathon road is, apart from the outset of the race inwards Greenwich.

Emu Analytics warn that the map is a flake of a browser killer. If your figurer is a footling onetime y'all mightiness desire to stance this YouTube video of the map instead.


The Washington Post has been looking at the uneven recovery inwards the housing marketplace position since its collapse inwards 2004 (this i evidently isn't inwards 3D). What they bring establish is that although the marketplace position has largely recovered it is the wealthy who are benefiting, piece poorer in addition to minority neighborhoods are lagging behind.

The Post's study America's Great Housing Divide is accompanied yesteryear an interactive map which allows y'all to run across how holding prices are doing inwards your area. If y'all come inwards a town cite or zip-code into the map y'all tin stance a choropleth map showing how homes inwards your neighborhoods bring changed inwards value since 2004.

If y'all click on the map y'all tin run across the pct modify inwards value inwards homes inwards the zip-code area. You tin also stance a graph showing the ascension in addition to autumn of holding prices inwards the surface area since 2004 compared to the ascension in addition to autumn of identify prices inwards the wider subway scheme area.
