This calendar week I was genuinely impressed amongst an interactive map from Dublin City Council commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising.
The City together with the Rising features images, text together with videos that connect incidents together with events of the Easter Rising amongst locations across the city.This multi-media content is displayed on overstep of vintage map of Dublin.
My favorite usage of The City together with the Rising has to hold upwards the incredible 3d maps which you lot tin ship away stance of a release of of import locations inward Dublin. These 3d maps were made from archive photographs, maps together with documentary sources to recreate how Dublin genuinely looked inward 1916.
Therefore amongst The City together with the Rising you lot tin ship away non exclusively larn to a greater extent than close the events that took identify inward together with roughly Dublin's General Post Office (for example) you lot tin ship away also explore the GPO together with O'Connell Street inward 3d. In fact, if you lot convey an Oculus Rift headset, you lot tin ship away stance the 3d scenes inward virtual reality.
I was also impressed this calendar week amongst a 3d map of the London Marathon route, created yesteryear Emu Analytics, using Qgis2threejs together with edifice acme & elevation data.
London Marathon 3D uses edifice acme information derived from the Great Britain Environment Agency's LIDAR data. The 3d buildings assistance you lot to navigate the road together with the terrain elevation layer gives you lot a expert thought of the few hills along the route. The elevation layer reveals how apartment the London Marathon road is, apart from the starting fourth dimension of the race inward Greenwich.
Emu Analytics warn that the map is a flake of a browser killer. If your calculator is a niggling former you lot mightiness desire to stance this YouTube video of the map instead.
The Washington Post has been looking at the uneven recovery inward the housing marketplace since its collapse inward 2004 (this i land isn't inward 3D). What they convey constitute is that although the marketplace has largely recovered it is the wealthy who are benefiting, spell poorer together with minority neighborhoods are lagging behind.
The Post's study America's Great Housing Divide is accompanied yesteryear an interactive map which allows you lot to meet how belongings prices are doing inward your area. If you lot piece of job inward a town elevate or zip-code into the map you lot tin ship away stance a choropleth map showing how homes inward your neighborhoods convey changed inward value since 2004.
If you lot click on the map you lot tin ship away meet the pct alter inward value inward homes inward the zip-code area. You tin ship away also stance a graph showing the ascent together with autumn of belongings prices inward the expanse since 2004 compared to the ascent together with autumn of identify prices inward the wider tube area.
