[OSM-talk] WebGL: Any 3D modellers/models out there?
With the imminent release of Firefox 4, now seems to be a good time to think about in-browser 3D OSM applications using WebGL - indeed there are already one or two things out there, including WebGLEarth (webglearth.com, using WebGL and OSM tiles) plus my own (very limited at the moment, and not looking at its best ATM due to lighting not working as a result of spec changes) OSM/SRTM vector rendering demo at http://www.free-map.org.uk/3d/. However what would be good to have is some high-quality 3D models of many of the features present in OSM. For my own countryside-orientated slant, I'm particularly thinking of things like gates, stiles, trees, man made features such as masts, water towers and pylons, and textures such as grass, heath, water, gravel, mud, etc. The sort of thing I'm imagining is a 3D virtual world created from OSM data, which a user can explore by walking and flying around in it. Is there anyone who is interested in creating such models, or for that matter, has maybe created a selection already?

Re: [OSM-talk] WebGL: Any 3D modellers/models out there?
Hi Nick, I talked with some of our german community already about creating a free 3D model portal that can be referenced. My idea was to make it with specialisation (e.g. a general model of a bus_station and dedicated ones for Germany ... City of Rostock) -user:Tordanik that creates a modular PovRay Exporter -user:marek kleciak that tries to improve the tagging details for buildings Unfortunatly we are all very busy so there isn't anything already. I'm pretty sure that the folks of Blender3D would be happy to improve their cities in a third dimension. With BING out there, would this be easy to do so. We might even ask Google Sketchup people to relicense their works... Would be cool when the 3D interested mappers could be united for this huge task :) regards Matthias ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

At a guess, they are probably testing how well the system would work for the military if the signals were encrypted, as they probably would be in the event a terrorist group or foreign military were thought to be about to launch an attack using GPS-guided weapons. ---Original Email--- Subject :Re: [OSM-talk] Watch out if mapping in Florida, Georgia... >From :mailto:si...@mungewell.org Date :Fri Jan 21 11:01:06 America/Chicago 2011 > GPS might not work; > > http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/01/20/unavailabe_gps_warning/ > Similar NOTAMS issued for the west cost too Also https://www.notams.jcs.mil/dinsQueryWeb/displayGPSWAASNotamAction.do -- 01/019 (A0009/11) - GPS NAV GLOBAL POSITION SYSTEM PSEUDO RANDOM NOISE 25 U/S. 24 JAN 21:00 2011 UNTIL 25 JAN 09:00 2011.

AFAIK the military is always using encrypted signals with a different and wider frequency range and better accuracy. cheers, Martin ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Doesn't some of the surveyor gear try to lock onto the frequency to improve accuracy, even if they can't decrypt the signal? Also if you know where the source of the jamming is coming from would it be possible to use that information to over come some of the degradation? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Yes although P-Code is encrypted, it is usable in some form to improve positional accuracy with some civilian receivers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals > > Also if you know where the source of the jamming is coming from would > it be possible to use that information to over come some of the > degradation? Nope, not if the jamming is any good. Simon ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
