Mapbox provides the feed of building and elevation models for the building heights as well as terrain through its SDK. I utilized MapBox, Unity, ARKit, and Xcode to create an app that allows you to use an iPhones camera to render a 3-D scrollable model of New York City (And anywhere in the world you want to scroll too). You are then able to anchor it and walk around the model to see all the sides and get closer or further away as if it was actually there. It essentially allows the camera on the device you are using to find a flat surface and showcase a 2D or 3D model or rendering on that surface. The type of augmented reality that I decided to use is called “Table Top” augmented reality. This same technology has migrated into different industry applications such as education and navigation. Augmented Reality was originally developed and implemented in Air Force Research and then heavily developed in the gaming industry to add a new way to interact with our surroundings to try and immerse the viewer on a new level. Augmented reality (AR) has been around since 1990’s and has been growing in use and capabilities. Geovisualization Class Project SA8905, Fall 2018įor my geo-visualization project I decided to create a map that takes advantage of new interactive technologies.
