The Lands Department (LandsD) today (October 15) launched a 3D Visualisation Map of Kowloon West and New Territories Northwest, and a 3D Indoor Map of Kowloon West.
      
     The 3D Visualisation Map of Kowloon West and New Territories Northwest covers around 63 600 buildings and about 770 infrastructure facilities, including flyovers, footbridges and subways. The 3D Indoor Map of Kowloon West covers around 70 buildings, including government and private buildings and community facilities, and provides information on floors, units and points-of-interest for promoting innovative indoor data applications, such as location-based services, tourism and indoor navigation.
      
     Moreover, the coverage of the "Streetscape 360" function of the 3D Visualisation Map, which offers 360-degree street-level panoramic images, has been extended from Kowloon East and Kowloon Central to Kowloon West, Lantau and New Territories Northwest.
      
     The datasets of the abovementioned 3D Digital Maps, relevant Application Programming Interface and sample codes are available on the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure Portal (portal.csdi.gov.hk) and the online application platform "Open3Dhk" (3d.map.gov.hk) for free download by the public to facilitate the development of web services and smart applications by the innovation and technology sector and academia.
      
     To promote smart city development, the LandsD will continue to develop and release 3D Digital Maps for other districts.
