cf. city flows - Comparing bike sharing systems in NYC, London and Berlin

tnagel

Hi,

We just launched the website for our visualization cf. city flows, a visualization showing ebbs and flows of urban cycling activity. It was designed to help citizens casually analyze three bike-sharing systems in the context of a public exhibition space.

Check out more images and videos, as well as more details on the project and our design process at https://uclab.fh-potsdam.de/cf/

This is an interactive exhibit with three screens, and a controller column in center front. The three high-resolution screens show different visualization scenes for New York City, Berlin, and London. It runs on a single MacPro. Data processing, analysis and visualization was done in Processing. Geo-mapping with the help of our Unfolding Maps library.

Hi tnagel,

This is beautiful work. And thank you for developing and sharing the unfolding map library too. I started to play with the unfolding map library not too long ago. I have been try to create the map in a 3D environment but have not been able to find a way to do it. I was wondering whether you could point me to any resources that explain how to achieve this.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi unparadise,

Thank you.

You can find a very basic 2.5D map example at https://github.com/tillnagel/unfolding/blob/master/examples/de/fhpotsdam/unfolding/examples/misc/Unfolding3DMapApp.java - Note, that the current github repo uses P3, and while we haven't released Unfolding for P3 you can either clone the repo, or send me an e-mail to get a beta.

Thank you very much for your prompt response, Till. I will take a look.
