Looks like it's done in Flash. Still very impressive but would have been even cooler if it was all JS/webgl/canvas voodoo. Would love to know where they're getting some of the data from (e.g. the bikes and atm locations).
- marmarlade 12y ago[edit] For sources, hit Legals in the bottom right footer, then Sources - Credit in the top (as per http://imgur.com/QknNS6B http://imgur.com/QknNS6B) [/edit] Not sure about the other cities, but for London, the bike locations are probably coming from the GLA Datastore http://data.london.gov.uk/datastore/package/tfl-cycle-hire-locations http://data.london.gov.uk/datastore/package/tfl-cycle-hire-l.... ATM information perhaps through Mastercard's API? http://www.programmableweb.com/api/mastercard-atm-locations http://www.programmableweb.com/api/mastercard-atm-locations I saw this a while back and thought it was a brilliantly executed marketing campaign. On a side note, whatever happened to Ingress?
- Kiro 12y agoI have a few friends playing it actively so I don't think anything happened. I keep getting update emails as well.
- Iv 12y agoAre you sure that they are not just faking the data?
- marmarlade 12y agoHmm, if they are, they're elaborately faking to the extent of making up sources in the footer. I'll take a look tonight if there is a CCTV camera where they claim there is and let you know!
- CmonDev 12y agoWell, this explains why it's performing reasonably well.
