Welcome!
Welcome to the homepage of my first project of Fall 2013 Semester, Somebody's Watching Me, project 1 of Professor Andy Johnson's Computer Graphics II course.
Introduction
Generally speaking, this app allows you to:
- 'flying' around whole earth as a 3D interactive environment both in your laptop and in the CAVE2
- switching background between 2 maps and 2 aerial photo versions
- map the location of crimes in Chicago in recent years on the environment with capability of multiple filters
- jump to one of the 77 community areas in Chicago fastly
- analysis crime data per community area as function of the time of day, day of week, or season of year
- watch the City in 'real-time' as crimes happening
- see the CTA 'L' lines and realtime location/heading feeds of all the trains
Read detailed desciption of all the features of this app.

- download the source code from Github or on top of this page
- download data files: zip | tar.gz, and put them directly in the project directory
- to run the project, do as following:
$ >cd [omegalib_build]/bin/
$ >./orun -s [where_you_put_the_project]/shiyin-p1.py
Note: some scripts in Github repository are not necessary, so you can download source code and data resource all at once here (zip) or here (tar.gz)
