As news today is shifting to web-based and digital-first, there is huge potential for higher dimensional data visualization to play its role in innovative storytelling.In this session, we’ll discuss advantages of 3D visualizations and learn from real-world use cases in journalism. We’ll also gain hands-on experience by walking through the procedure to create a 3D geospatial data visualization with PyDeck, a layer-structured python library. Learn to quickly develop and prototype exploratory visualizations and see your data from new perspectives.
No coding experience required! Just bring your laptop and curiosity.
