 The goal of this project is to explore interactive visualization of open data in a graphically rich, game-like 3D environment. We do this by developing a framework for rendering geographic and statistical data using WebGL technology - already supported in most popular browsers - combined with traditional dataviz tools and standards such as D3, GeoJSON and OpenLayers. Open data about Switzerland is portrayed in our first live site.

 ===== Data sources =====
+A backlog of links and examples [[https://workflowy.com/s/3a6eb09d-5457-0d63-1044-1b599359d5d1|is shared here]]. We are looking for ideas of what data to include or adapt this visualization to other uses - please [[http://make.opendata.ch/forum/discussion/110/open-data-alps|comment on the forum]]. Current datasets visualized:
 **Shape of Switzerland**: [[https://github.com/interactivethings/swiss-maps|swiss-maps]] were prepared and openly licensed by [[http://interactivethings.com/|Interactive Things]]. The simplified GeoJSON files are relatively straightforward to convert to polygons using D3 and extrude in 3D space, and the latest version has no holes. The bounding boxes are used to make data pyramids. If you click the //Labels// button, the names of the cantons are displayed.

 **Heatmap**:
 [[http://www.meteoschweiz.admin.ch/web/en/climate/climate_today/trends_from_stations.html|Annual temperature trends]] (MeteoSchweiz) shows the increase in °C/Decade around the country. We matched these numbers by hand with the location of the primary measuring stations found in the [[http://www.meteoschweiz.admin.ch/web/de/klima/messsysteme/boden.Related.0002.DownloadFile.tmp/neuestationsnamen.pdf|List of changed station names]], which we geocoded with OpenStreetMap's Nominatim. This was something of a painful exercise so we are looking forward to [[http://www.meteoschweiz.admin.ch/web/de/meteoschweiz/portrait/datenliberalisierung.html|more open weather data]]! Note: disabled due to glitches. Current plan is to use the new OGD portal data.
