This project has been developed with the aim to compare two JavaScript APIs that are using 3D web globes to display, visualize and animate 3D content. Therefore, a prototype application has been implemented that shows a temporal 3D animation of the settlement development of the city of Zurich:

The 3D data model of Zurich was provided by the Amt für Städtebau, Zürich. A detailed report about the comparison can be downloaded from our institute homepage. The source code of the original applications and the updated version is available at GitHub. For further information, please contact the author.
