Oakland Crimespotting

sensescape — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:18:33 +0000

I’ve been helping Mike and Tom with some new improvements on Oakland Crimespotting. We’ve added a new feature for filtering crime by time of day. We’ve been calling this new feature the “time pie”! The time pie shows a 24 hour period and allows the user to select time segments of commute hours, nightlife hours and police shifts. Sunrise and sunsets hours are also indicated. The user may also select specific hours by dragging thru the time pie. The date slider on the map has also been updated with the ability to page forward and backward through time for data since summer of 2007.

We’ve also switched the map to Pale Dawn, the map style we created for Cloudmade early this year. This map style was created specifically for data overlay.

Explore the new California Academy of Sciences space in Golden Gate Park with our new map. The new Academy building was designed by Renzo Piano. The new structure has been applauded as the world’s greenest museum space, earning a platinum rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). It houses a 4-story rainforest, aquarium, planetarium, a living roof and more.

The Academy Exhibit Map conveys the fluidity of the unique museum space from water to sky, showing transitions from the lower levels of the Philippine Coral Reef to the top level of the Living Roof. Explore the exhibits, plan your visit or get to know the space.

Designed and built by Stamen in collaboration with the Interactive Media Group at the California Academy of Sciences.

Here’s a late post on the Hurricane Tracker we did for MSNBC, tracking Hurricane Paloma. Tom and I worked on it this summer. It launched just in time for Hurricane Gustav. See Eric’s post on Stamen.
