Oslo Population Density Inwards 3D

Bjørn Sandvik's Thematic Mapping Blog has but posted 2 interesting tutorials on mapping grid-based statistics. Both tutorials in addition to the accompanying demo maps visualize population density inwards Oslo, Norway.

The start tutorial inwards Mapping Grid-Based statistics using OpenLayers, Three.js in addition to D3.js shows y'all how to practise a grid based interactive map to visualize population density. The map likewise allows the user to direct an expanse on the map to encounter the let out of inhabitants inwards a custom defined area.

The instant map inwards the ship provides a 3d visualization on the same population data, amongst each grid's population density shown every bit a 3d tower or block on the map. The park work amongst such an approach is that the towers or blocks inwards the foreground obscure the sentiment of the towers inwards the background. Bjørn's 3d interactive map largely overcomes this work yesteryear allowing y'all to rotate in addition to zoom inwards in addition to out on the map.

Both the tutorials for the maps are inwards Norwegian but the rootage code is available on GithHub in addition to should hold out slow to follow for anyone familiar amongst OpenLayers in addition to D3.js.
