ViziCities: Making SimCity for the Real World

With Angry Birds, Cut the Rope and other blockbuster games now working in modern web browsers, it’s fair to say native, browser based gaming has arrived for real. But how do they do it? In the session, Mozilla Technical Evangelist Rob Hawkes looks at the features now in your browsers to help develop games (and other interactive web based experiences) including canvas and WebGL, HTML5 Audio, Pointer Lock and the Gamepad API.

ViziCities is an open-source 3D city visualisation platform powered by JavaScript, WebGL and many other cutting-edge Web technologies. Think SimCity meets the real world! In this talk, Robin Hawkes, ViziCities’ creator will highlight the development issues experienced along the way and show you how he overcame them – ranging from how you tackle the realtime processing of thousands of 3D buildings without locking up the browser, to how you visualise the entire world without needing a server or your own geographic data source.

WebVisions – ViziCities: Bringing Cities to Life Using Big Data

Robin Hawkes

Imagine being able to explore any city in the world in 3D in your browser. Now imagine being able to overlay data onto your city - transport, crime, pollution, social data and weather - all live and in real time…and it was open source! In this session Peter and Robin will talk about how they're creating ViziCities, an open-source, 3D visualisation platform, combining cutting-edge web technologies with open data to create beautiful visualisations. If you can’t imagine it…imagine SimCity for real life. We’ll discuss the power that new types of visualisation present for all of us to better see, understand and make decisions in our worlds. We’ll guide you through the technologies we're using, including D3 and WebGL, the design approach we’re using and share some important lessons learnt along the way. By the end, we hope to have inspired you to start experimenting with these technologies to create beautiful visualisations of your own.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan Dix

Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024 https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/ As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor Turskyi

Fwdays

I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
