Back in June , London ’s theodolite potbelly decided to release all of its information about bus and caravan exit to the public . That way , administrators believably figure , eager developer could use that information to ramp up good transit apps . But the move has also ensue in some pretty interesting originative projects , too — likethis one , which lets users pilot through a 3D model of the Tube .
On Twitter today , the sire of data point visualization himself , Edward Tufte , gave a shout - out to this marvelous experimentation by London developerBruno Imbrizi . Imbrizi built the interactive exemplar using a combination of datasets , include the newly - free departure information as well as intention data about tube depth and location . Disparate information coalesces to shape a serviceable real - sentence map of the world ’s oldest subway system — which we can now pan , zoom , and rotate through , thanks to Imbrizi ’s talent for code .
There are plenty ofother mapsbased on the same data swim around , and there are surely more to make out . But it ’s hard to beat this one in terms of sheer mesmerise fun . Now , if only Imbrizi would take on the MTA . [ Edward Tufte;TheNextWeb ]
