In this tutorial we use some simple Python (assisted by ChatGPT) to access and import real time bikeshare data from anywhere in the world via API. In Part 1 we will use jupyter notebooks, create a stand-alone python program that runs as its own process, and then in Part 2 we will leverage OSC to […]

In this project, we build a geospatial data pipeline to power a real-time visualization built in TouchDesigner. We will look at a number of applications and effects, visualization with instancing and render picking, and integrate various data sources along the way. Part 1 includes using qGIS software to bulk download Open Street Map data, Houdini […]
