Explore central Warsaw in voxels - slightly inspired by Minecraft, and MagicaVoxel. You can change the date, time of day and weather, explore the city, or click on a pedestrian to control them (here a bit of inspiration from Dungeon Keeper). Works best on desktop, but I tried to make it usable on mobile too. The initial load can take a while. It's based on several open datasets, including: - OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=6/52.02/19.14) - buildings, streets, sidewalks, tram…

From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
There are quite a few such other projects, e.g. Streets of Prague (https://beta.streetsofprague.com/), were one can explore Prague in a top-down GTA2-like mode, based on real data.
Super neat project but I am getting fractional (<1 FPS) frame rates in FF on Linux. Granted, this is an older AMD PC and certainly no power house but it used to run actual Minecraft just fine.
I really enjoyed visiting Warsaw, I went there for work a few years ago and didn't really know what to expect. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend the Warsaw Uprising Museum.
