Hello I'm totally new to this forum but I've been using Processing for 6 months now in terms of my Design study, so I'm not really used to the technical jargon of the programming world.
I have a Vision of a Project for this Semester that I simply started to sketch but I don't know if it's even possible.
As for now all I have is a Globe that I can view from different angles through PeasyCam. For my Project I want specific Emojis tweeted around the Globe shown at the Location they come from on my Globe. (Live Data Visualization)
Is it even possible? Because as for now I haven't found anything similar done in Processing on the net. Is there a Tool/Library or whatever to map the GPS date in my 3D Globe?
I know its not much so far but this is the code for my Globe
import peasy.*;
import peasy.org.apache.commons.math.*;
import peasy.org.apache.commons.math.geometry.*;
Planet earth;
PeasyCam cam;
PImage img;
PImage bg;
void setup() {
size (1000, 600, P3D);
img = loadImage("World3.jpg");
//int i = 10;
cam = new PeasyCam(this, 200);
earth = new Planet(50);
}
void draw() {
bg = loadImage("Black.png");
background(bg);
lights();
earth.show();
}
______
class Planet {
float radius;
float angle;
float distance;
Planet [] planets;
float orbitSpeed;
PVector v;
PShape globe;
Planet (float r) {
v = PVector.random3D();
radius = r;
noStroke();
noFill();
globe = createShape(SPHERE, radius);
globe.setTexture(img);
}
void show () {
pushMatrix();
noStroke();
fill(255);
//rotate(angle);
translate(v.x, v.y, v.z);
shape(globe);
popMatrix();
}
}
Thanks in advance!
