Summary

Show HN: An interactive 3D voxel map of Warsaw's city centre, built as a web-based visualization of the city in blocky voxel style.

Explore central Warsaw in voxels - slightly inspired by Minecraft, and MagicaVoxel. You can change the date, time of day and weather, explore the city, or click on a pedestrian to control them (here a bit of inspiration from Dungeon Keeper).<p>Works best on desktop, but I tried to make it usable on mobile too. The initial load can take a while. It&#x27;s based on several open datasets, including:<p>- OpenStreetMap (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;#map=6&#x2F;52.02&#x2F;19.14" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;#map=6&#x2F;52.02&#x2F;19.14</a>) - buildings, streets, sidewalks, tram tracks, etc<p>- GUGiK &#x2F; Geoportal (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.geoportal.gov.pl&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.geoportal.gov.pl&#x2F;</a>) - LiDAR for building heights and trees, aerial imagery for colours<p>- Warsaw&#x27;s city tree database (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mapa.um.warszawa.pl&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mapa.um.warszawa.pl&#x2F;</a>) - individual tree species, used for seasonal foliage<p>Open-source (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;stared&#x2F;warsaw-vibe-voxel" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;stared&#x2F;warsaw-vibe-voxel</a>), so feel invited to (re)use it as you wish!
