Data Visualization for the 12 Days Contest

​@barry the 3d shows the FME  magic ✨ in 3D visualization.

​@hansh the airport avoidance map is great 👍

Hello Users.

I used FME Form and Flow to create my Augmented Reality map, visualizing the countries that my Solutial balloon passed through.

Here we can see the App created in the FME Flow App. Initially, the user chooses the balloon to be analyzed and executes it in Run.

The App returns the fmear file (Augmented Reality).

The Workspace created in the FME Form did the spatial relationship between the balloon's registered points with polygons of countries and stores this information in the Points Collected attribute.

Countries that have points collected from the balloon are yellowed.

​@danilo_fme The augmented reality you develop is really good and the visualisation is mobile friendly showing responsiveness.

It is true. My Team Rocket tried to hit as many airports as possible (and managed to do so, with 33 hits), but according to your list I also avoided the most. I guess that if your analysis checks which teams made course corrections close to airports, my corrections were indeed made to HIT the airports and not avoid them. :-)

Interesting twist! :-)

Then the statistics I put forward should for you be showing the times you course corrected but did not manage to hit the airport in question. Does that seem correct?

It might, but 67 times seems very much.

jonas_nelson my Team Evoteck really tried to avoid hitting the Airport by checking the Airport layer on the map, and  also knowing the possible route to direct my balloon.

Interesting, your team doesn’t appear on HansH’s list, even if you really tried to avoid airports? Maybe you didn’t get close enough for the avoidance to count?

​@jonas_nelson Yes my Team doesn’t appear on HansH’s list, because my balloon track did not get close any Airport.

Hi everyone,

For the 12 Days of FME Contest, GeaMetrics (Team ID 257) created a dynamic 3D dashboard showcasing balloon paths around the globe. The visualization includes:

• Historical trajectories segmented by time intervals.
• Filters to explore data by team and analyze key metrics such as timing and distances.
• A time slider to navigate routes from the start to the end of the contest.

The data was processed using FME, and the dashboard is built in ArcGIS Online.

Happy mapping! 🎉

This is a great app! Nicely done. I wonder if there is an exaggeration factor or calculation that can be used on the real altitude to better exaggerate/visualize big changes in altitude and visualize them on a global scale? Like a power function or something. I like seeing the altitude changes like in our attitude graph.

Mark, are you planning to release the workspaces from this contest? I’d love to see how you did this.

​@crutledge I just checked the dashboard on mobile view and it really gave a great user experience of navigating through the globe.

​@doniwanicka Yes, although I need to clean out any tokens and probably tidy the workspaces a bit. I’ll do that some time early in the new year.

Special congratulations to ​@niekb4 for winning the best visualization, your work is really amazing, I was impressed with your level of creativity.
