 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. The goal of this project is to explore interactive visualization of open data in a graphically rich, game-like 3D environment.

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. **Shape of Switzerland**: [[https://github.com/interactivethings/swiss-maps|swiss-maps]] were prepared and openly licensed by [[http://interactivethings.com/|Interactive Things]].
