The Straits Times has created a rattling impressive 3d map of Singapore to illustrate an investigation into who owns the buildings on Singapore's most famous shopping street. Who Owns Orchard Road? explores the various ownership of private buildings on the city's principal retail street.
We can't live on certain how this impressive 3d map was built because essentially nosotros never snuff it to interact straight amongst the map. The initial floor map progression through the buildings is all managed past times video. The developers convey videoed a linear pan of the map from i edifice to the next. The progression through the floor map is so controlled past times only playing in addition to pausing this video.
Once the videoed floor map has completed the video is replaced amongst what is essentially a movie map (or 2 movie maps - equally the zoom push switches the icon of the 3d map to a zoomed inwards movie of the same map). Buildings on the icon map convey been made interactive so you lot tin click on the colored buildings to larn to a greater extent than nearly who owns the property.
The role of a video in addition to movie map is an interesting hack which enables the Straits Times to render a rattling detailed 3d thought of Singapore. This score of especial presented inwards an interactive map would trial inwards delays for the user equally the map would presumably convey to live on rendered inwards the user's browser. Currently you lot tin render a like looking interactive 3d map but without the score of especial inwards the edifice models. If you lot desire to practise your ain interactive 3d maps in addition to so you lot could foremost amongst this tutorial on making Interactive 3D Maps With OSMBuildings.
