GeoWerkstatt August: Colorful Smoke shows where the action is

Cities are not just houses, streets and trees. There is always something happening here. Squares are sometimes bustling with people, sometimes empty. Traditional 3D city models do not capture this dynamism. However, in urban digital twins, moving objects can be visualised using visual metaphors. "Colorful Smoke" is one such metaphor developed by researchers at the Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, who present its technical implementation in the latest issue of GeoWerkstatt.
