I was curious to see what this would look like in Cesium. It was a lot of fun putting this together and projecting different country flags on the mountain, I think it turned out pretty well!
You can play with this yourself in a live demo here: https://cesium-matterhorn.glitch.me/. Try clicking Toggle orbit to get a nice fly around the mountain.
I love the way the projections drape over the terrain!
Doesn’t Georgia play a laser show on their Stone Mountain? (I imagine other places do as well.) Could you create something liek that with an animated projection as well?
I had no idea about this - that’s a really cool idea! There’s no easy way to create multiple independent light sources like a laser on the mountain, but what I did here is just make the flag image go more transparent depending on the time of day so it looks like it’s “lighting up”.
The instructions I have up there do mention how you can go about changing the view here to a different location if anyone wants to explore that.
When I went to Switzerland a year ago, I stayed one night in Zermatt but i couldn’t see Matterhorn because of bad weather. It’s very nice to see Matterhorn here. Thank you.
