#Technology The application uses BabylonJS and WebGL to render datasets in an interactive way. Datasets can be toggled and combined to discover phenomenons in the interaction between the datasets.

#Data sources

  1. FourSquare - Restaurants, Coffée shops, Boutiques etc.
  2. Facebook - Events
  3. Tillväxtanalys - Retail, Gas stations
  4. Trafikverket - Traffic accidents
  5. Stockholms stad - Population density

#Credits We would like to say thanks to the Swedish authorities for their effort of opening up their data and special thanks goes to Naturvårdsverket for arranging the Hack4Sweden-hackathon.
