Reinventing The Map


The 2015 European Games is beingness held inward Baku, Azerbaijan, from 12 to 28 June 2015. This volition last the first final result of the novel European Games, an international mini-Olympics type final result for athletes representing the National Olympic Committees of Europe.

The Journey of the Flame is a rattling interesting map which shows the road of the Baku 2015 torch relay. This futuristic 3d map was built using WebGL together with three.js. When zoomed out the map presents a traditional tiptop downwards map view. As you lot zoom inward the map transitions to introduce an oblique stance of Azerbaijan together with the road of the torch relay.

If you lot pick out a town on the map you lot tin stance social messages posted past times map users at that location. To stance a message only pick out 1 of the private flames shooting out of the torch that appears over the town.

The map isn't solely successful. The town labels are rattling unclear when the map is zoomed out (the labels should last larger when the map is zoomed out). It is likewise a flake hard to stance the road on the map. The road would last to a greater extent than clear if a contrast color to the map background was used. However you lot tin purpose the timeline at the tiptop of the map to navigate to a greater extent than easily to private towns on the torch relay route.
