- Stockholm has a free 1:1000 model in the center of the city that you can walk on!

- I always love these miniatures when I see them in museums, airports, city halls, etc.
Maybe I missed it, I didn't see where the data came from. I am wondering if someone did scans of the city with something that generates point cloud data. Or maybe extrapolated from a 2d satellite and then later fixed by humans?

- I love the overhead projector adding another level of information to this.
I wonder how hard it would be to make one of these of my town.
Surely there's publicly available lidar data that I could import into some software to slice it into squares small enough for me to 3D-print? Although I guess I'd have to make sure I'm not just printing noise where trees are...
- A while ago I wrote a program to generate models like this from lidar data and more recently to fill in missing data with a simple model (https://github.com/jawline/reflector/). Lots of the world has such data publicly available so its pretty cool to print your local area with recent data.

- In my opinion, this is the kind of thing that is better done with AR.
