Website Transforms the Earth into Tron Map

If you ever wondered how the world would look if you were to be inside The Matrix, Tron or other sci-fi movies, a website transforms the Earth into Tron map so you can actually see how it would be. While we may never know how it would look in real life, we can now imagine it with the help of a recent website that transforms the Earth intro a Tron map of the world.

Vector Map needs a browser that is WebGL enabled in order to function. If you have such a browser, make sure you take a look at how the world might look like in the movie Tron. And if you don’t, well, make sure you install a browser as the website is quite the eye-candy.

The map was built with the help of Tangram from Mapzen. The software takes data from OpenStreetMap and transforms it into an animated world filled with neon lights. This works for any location, as long as you know the coordinates.

The website was discovered by Maps Mania and while Vector Map doesn’t yet feature a search function you can use a website to get the coordinates you wish and then just add them to the end of the URL. You will have to replace the coordinates already written in the address of the website.

It’s not very easy and user friendly to explore the world in Tron-like vision but if you take just one glance at popular locations, like the Eiffel Tower in France you will clearly forget all the small inconveniences. The Earth looks amazing as a video game and you will find yourself searching all kinds of locations to view them in sci-fi vision.

One thing’s for sure, we spent a lot of time on the website, without getting bored. We guarantee that you will do the same. Enjoy.
