Sounds of Prague

Project

This is a work for NI-CCC course at Faculty of Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague created by Adam Benda and Radka Hošková.

Concept

We want to build audio model of Prague based on spatial opendata. It would allow user to take a walk through the city and listen to various sounds emmited in the city. For more info see [https://ni-ccc.github.io/projects/zvuky_mesta.html](concept document in czech).

Technology

We use THREE.js library for visualisation. App is built using webpack.

Backend

Thin javascript server (run in Nodejs) that provides client nescessary files to run the frontend and allows to query the postgres database.

Database

Postgresql with PostGIS extension allows server to search for features around Client avatar effectively.
