GPS City Tracks: 1 Year in 24 Hours via Google Earth

By Google Earth, GPS Tracks


GPS tracks can show the ‘life’ of a city, which parts of the city are working, areas that are no go zones and sections dedicated to shopping, work, entertainment etc. The possibilities for using GPS data to examine our cities ‘health’ are intriguing which turns us to the work by Fabian over at http://urbantick.blogspot.com/

The movie below illustrates Fabian’s paths around the city of Plymouth over 365 days, compressed and visualised in Google Earth:

Google Earth is an excellent tool for displaying GPS data, especially over time, we are just starting to look into other options, perhaps After Effects – any thoughts or ideas for visualising GPS tracks over time would be great…

See http://urbantick.blogspot.com/ for more movies and examples on visualising GPS tracks in the city.

Spacelapse: Time and Space in the City

By Timelapse

As regular readers will know we have a bit of a ‘thing’ with timelapses, they provide an excellent way to capture the life of the cityscape over time. As such the movie below is of particular interest.

Entitled ‘Spacelapse’ the movie takes a 24hour timelapse sequence of a group of shops and splits up the scene by adjusting the time for each shop. By speeding up and slowing down each shops speed of timelapse the viewer has an opportunity to see the street as a series of components each with its own time according to its use.

The movie has been shown internationally and on British terrestrial networks, take a look at Dr Chris Speed’s site for more on the timelapse and some other really neat projects…

See our previous tutorial on how to make your own outdoor timelapse rig.

56 Leonard Street New York: Architectural Visualisation

By Architectural Visualisation


Designed by the Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron, 56 Leonard Street is a 796ft (243m) tall skyscraper currently under construction in New York. Described by the architects as ‘houses stacked in the sky’ the visualisation below ticks all the boxes – nice soundtrack, use of raytraced panoramic globes (a must…) and fly in sections combining into the final structure:
