3-D Mashup of SharePoint AMS Data with Bing Maps

Remember us saying that once you get your data into this new AMS there’s some pretty powerful and cool opportunities? Check it out – here’s a 3-D mashup that combines SharePoint AMS data with Bing maps to allow you to plot geographic and temporal data visually.

Basically, we created a private view on the company list, and wanted to use that data for the mashup to visually represent the density of hospital types on a map. Also threw in a heat map display of hospital types per region.

 

I’m sure you can think of better uses for enabling folks to discover and share new insights from data through rich, 3-D data on a globe and fluid, cinematic guided tours—virtual cinematography moving through data, etc. but we wanted to build you a sample.

…we know it’s not Hollywood quality but hopefully it demonstrates the concept well enough to get the idea juices flowing.

PS – This took about 15 minutes to build.
