Space-Time/Elevation Cube
Small demonstration of a space-time/elevation cube.
The data are GPS captures of five runs, rendered as “tubes” in three dimensions. The vertical dimension z oscillates between altitude (dark background) and running duration time (light background).
The planar map in rendered in a classical fashion at the bottom of the cube.
(Note that one of the runs — the purple tube — has a problematic altitude-shift that makes it float above the others.)
