Abstract

Bringing geography to national TV
Track: Mapping and Visualization
Authors: Frederik Ruys

Dutch broadcaster VPRO has used extensive data resources to put together a tv documentary, named The Netherlands from above, and to share 29 interactive maps (designed by Stamen) with the public to help find new exotic locations. This presentation will explain what it took to get to that level. It will zoom in on the data and technology challenges and show you the end result, which has been shown on national tv and was rated as one of the best shows of the season.
