Building an Entire City in R: Interactive 3D Data Visualization with Rayrender by Tyler Morgan-Wall
Visit rstats.ai/gov/ to learn more.
Abstract: We live in a 3D world filled with 3D data: why limit yourself to 2D data visualizations when your data are three dimensional? In this talk, I will show how you can visualize an entire city in R, building a 3D model of every single building in Washington DC directly from open geospatial data sources. Using the rayverse universe of packages and the sf package, we will recreate a Washington Post visualization showing the 3D path of a helicopter descending on the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in only a few lines of code. Additionally, we will use the rayrender package to visualize the point-of-view of the helicopter itself, and show how you can interactively fly through and visualize massive 3D scenes entirely in your R session.
Bio: Dr. Tyler Morgan-Wall is the developer of the rayverse: a collection of packages that includes the mapping and data visualization package rayshader, the high-quality 3D rendering package rayrender, and several other packages. He is also the developer of the experimental design and Monte Carlo power analysis package skpr. Tyler has a PhD in Physics from Johns Hopkins University and lives and works in the DC area at the Institute for Defense Analyses.
