Course3d is a web-based visualization tool of a course in a 3D dynamic camera environment, based on iTowns.
It was developed in the context of the 3D project of TSI-C 2021 at ENSG.
To use Course3d, import the GPX track of your course at the home page. Then visualize your course in a 3D environment with a dynamic camera.
You can also view the default course proposed by Course3d.
A GPX trace (different from the default one) is available in this repository at ./gpx/tdfcml2020.gpx.
When you connect to the site you arrive on the homepage, you can either add your own GPX file or use the GPX file proposed by default by Course3d :
Once your GPX file is entered and after the loading screen, you will be moved from the globe to the first point of your GPX track symbolized by a green sphere.
The path will then start to follow the GPX track and the camera will follow the route.
At regular intervals, the camera aligns itself with the head of the track, so that even in mountainous areas the recent track is on the screen most of the time.
Finally, when the track reaches the end of the GPX trace, the last point is displayed in white and the camera stops.

To install Course3d :
- Copy the repo
- At root :
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
Course3d uses Webpack :
- To run a build in development mode :
npm run build-dev - To run a build in production mode :
npm run build-prod - To run a build at each source code save :
npm run autobuild
NOTE :
When cloning the repository, the bundle is in production version
Course3d allows the user to visualize his course (imported via his GPX track in the menu) in a 3D environment with a dynamic camera. After importing the track (or starting with the default track), Course3d allows the user to view :
- A camera animation of a view of the globe towards the starting point of the trail
- Start and finish point markers
- A dynamic and constant display of the course layout
- The route from a dynamic camera that follows the progress of the route
- Allow the user to:
- Pause the plot and camera movement
- Choose the duration of the plot and its colour
- Enter a plot from another format (KML, JSON, GeoJSON ..)
- Do not allow the user to stop the dynamic visualisation by touching the 3D map
- Improve the fluidity of the tracking camera's movement
- Pre-load the tiles of the plot
- Display a countdown before the start of the track
- Allow the user to return to the menu at the end of the track
- Add a rotation of the camera around the finish point at the end of the track
- Improve camera positions/orientations to always see the trail optimally (hidden by mountains)
