The Brooklyn Typology Project: Urban Omnibus

By Brooklyn, Data Visualisation, Urban Data

The Urban Omnibus is an online creation of the Architectural League to create a new kind of conversation about design and New York City. A fascinating website in itself they have also just posted a great write up of the The Brooklyn Typology Project.


The Brooklyn Typology Project provides photographs and data describing Brooklyn, you can browse by housing type, density, housing units per acre, decade, date of build, neighborhood or simply by location. We have just spent a good half hour rummaging around the site and especially like the ‘industrial’ section under housing type, its a neat way to explore residential density.

Edge of Sydney CBD: Stereographic Timelapse

By Panorama, Planets

We were about to try out a similar concept ourselves here at digital urban with an old ‘one shot lens’ and a HD video camera. Peter Murphy however has gone one step further with a dual Canon 5d with 10.5mm fisheye lens rig.

A image was taken every second resulting in the following movie:

The concept is similar to the Dizzy Rascal Bonkers video, if we do get round to using the one shot lens we will post up a few sample panoramas and a tutorial…

See Peters VR Weblog for more panoramic imagery – of particular note is his latest ‘observation deck’ panorama.
