  • The Swiss Federal Geoportal’s 3D viewer, which uses Cesium and 3D tiles, has released a new beta that now displays more than 80 million features in Switzerland, including buildings and trees.
  • In her article “Opening Doors with Open Source,” Judy Weng explains how participating in Cesium’s open source project as a student helped her grow in confidence and learn from more experienced programmers, and how open source projects are especially good opportunities for encouraging underrepresented minorities in computer science.
