A new interactive 3D voxel map of Warsaw's city center has been launched. Users can navigate the virtual city, altering the date, time of day, and weather conditions. The map also includes a feature to control a pedestrian character within the environment.
The map draws inspiration from games like Minecraft and Dungeon Keeper. Its geographical data is sourced from several open datasets, including OpenStreetMap for buildings and infrastructure, GUGiK/Geoportal for LiDAR-derived building heights and trees, and Warsaw's city tree database for specific tree species and seasonal foliage.
The application is optimized for desktop use but also supports mobile devices, though initial loading times may vary. The entire project is open-source and its code is available on GitHub, allowing for community contributions and reuse.
