I dearest CartoDB's Torque library but if I come across ane to a greater extent than Twitter map of a World Cup game I recall I mightiness explode. I recall nosotros larn it directly - people Tweet a lot when soul scores a goal. Torque is a real powerful visualization tool for animating large time-stamped information steps on an interactive map. It genuinely does deserve to move used inwards ameliorate mapped visualizations.
Ramadan: How the World Celebrates mightiness move some other Torque / Twitter map but it does add together a few novel interesting tweaks to the commons Torque powered Twitter visualizations. In 2013 74.2 ane M one thousand Twitter messages were sent roughly the the world mentioning Ramadan. This map animates through the Tweets genuinely sent during Ramadan itself.
What I similar most almost Ramadan: How the World Celebrates is that it isn't exactly a meaningless playback of Twitter activeness overlaid on a map. Instead it genuinely attempts to analyse some of the cultural differences gleaned from the information past times looking at the linguistic communication in addition to words used inwards unlike countries in addition to regions.
During the animation the map zooms inwards on unlike areas of the the world in addition to reveals some interesting contextual information almost the variety out of messages sent inwards unlike areas. For example, inwards the USA the long summertime days hateful that a lot of Muslims shipping messages almost how hungry in addition to thirsty they are. In Turkey 'May you lot move inwards practiced health' is a pop message. While inwards Paris in addition to Saudi Arabia, afterwards the Sun sets, many Muslim Twitter users elevate the dates that they are eating.
A Plane Spraying a Rice Field inwards Southern Spain deserves a elevate every bit well, exactly because it is a Torque powered visualization that doesn't role Twitter information in addition to doesn't elevate football. This Torque powered map (actually it seems to move missing a map) animates the GPS rails of a bird taking off from a landing strip, spraying a rice field, landing, refueling, taking off again, spraying ane time to a greater extent than in addition to returning to a landing strip.
I've no catch if this uses a existent GPS rails or is exactly a exhibit map of how crop spraying industrial plant but it is a uncomplicated in addition to slap-up demonstration of a crop-spraying flying pattern.
