TOKYO CITY SYMPHONY: 3D Map Imaging

Symphonize with the world to the ever-evolving city of Tokyo. 進化するTOKYOを、世界中の人たちと奏でよう。 http://tokyocitysymphony.com The 10 year celebration theme for Roppongi Hills is "LOVE TOKYO." We will be starting a movement here from Roppongi Hills to transform Tokyo into a more attractive and exciting "world-class city."

For the 10th anniversary of the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, we are presented this absolutely stunning digital projection mapping project in conjunction with the Tokyo City Symphony.

3 - Foursquare Check-ins for 4 days in Tokyo and NYC

Every day, millions of people check in on Foursquare. We took a year's worth of check-ins in New York City and Tokyo and plotted them on a map. Each dot represents a single check-in, while the straight lines link sequential check-ins. What you can see here represents the power of check-in data -- on Foursquare, every city around the world pulses with activity around places every hour of every day. Related: Also see our data visualization of four days worth of Foursquare check-ins in New York CIty during Hurricane Sandy (and the subsequent power outage) during October 2012: http://vimeo.com/52883962.

Each dot represents a check-in during this 96 hour period. Super fascinating to see the different types of check-ins ripple across the city as time of day effects the rhythm of all of these individuals in a fairly regular pattern.​

2 - Tokyo Timelapse

Tokyo is extremely distinct city. I would love to introduce plenty of attractive aspects of Tokyo with time-lapse in motion. This movie is not enough to portray them but, I hope you like it. music "Ticking Away" by Cranston (http://cranston.bandcamp.com/)

A lovely little timelapse of Tokyo.​
