actuvisu Blog Interior Design Educators Council | IDEC Map Stack: Maps for all Jun 12, 2013 Map Stack: Maps for all Good-looking maps used to be the domain of experts. That’s been changing quite a bit in the last few years, and it’s easier than ever now for developers to access mapping data (the recent State of the Map US conference was a great place to hear about this). We call it Map Stack. The maps.stamen.com project was designed to let people easily use Open Street Map data in their own applications, and to provide well-designed map styles that would raise the bar for what people expect from open data. Watercolor punched through by satellite imagery from MapBox. You don't need to sign up for anything, know how to code, or know much about cartography to make great looking maps. So now you can make all kinds of cool maps — say, this map of the Pentagon (which appears aglow with all the PRISM data flowing through it) — in no time: Opening Hours? We’d originally talked about calling the project the “map sandwich,” since it’s all about the stacking of layers of maps.
Home Brain Pickings The 3D Trajectories of the Tennis Ball during the Final ATP Matches Corona Perspectives [coronaperspectives.com] developed by advertising agency JWT Spain and web development studio Espada y Santa Cruz provides an interactive and 3D perspective of all the tennis ball trajectories during 3 past ATP tennis matches. The online interface provides different ways of exploring the large amount of tennis game data. An interactive timeline at the bottom of the screen allows the filtering of the trajectories according to the successive sets or different points during the match.

IAKC Home - InteriorArchitectureCommittee The American Institute of Architects Board of Directors awarded the 2013 AIA Architecture Firm Award to Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, who blend exquisite care for detail with subtle, reverent architecture that's both timeless in its abstracted, meditative forms and materially specific to context and place. The AIA Architecture Firm Award, given annually, is the highest honor the AIA bestows on an architecture firm, and recognizes a practice that has consistently produced distinguished architecture for at least 10 years… Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects respect the Modernist legacy of orthogonal, functional minimalism, but place it in a wider context of earthen, material richness.

Augmented Reality with #Processing - Tutorial by Amnon Owed All of the visuals in the above video were created using NyArtoolkit for Processing. NyARToolkit is an augmented reality toolkit built with 100% pure Java. It is derived from ARToolkit-2.72.1. Like Processing itself it’s open source and free! In this tutorial you will learn how to use it to place computer generated imagery correctly onto real world footage. To do this in real-time NyArtoolkit uses markers – black and white images – to determine the three-dimensional position and orientation in the real world. All right so let’s start with the general setup. 1. 2. 3. 4. All right, time to recap. Example 1: Basic The first example is basic, but holds all of the important techniques that are necessary for more advanced uses of the NyArtoolkit. If you input the following image (place it in the sketch’s data subdirectory)… …into the first code example, you should end up with something like this… Example 2: Dynamic Time to get a little more dynamic.
