The Olympic Games have long been a celebration of worldwide athletic achievements. For many years, nations from all over the world have competed for the greatest honors in sports. But have you ever wondered which countries win the most frequently or how Olympic victories are split up internationally?
Olympic achievement can be visualized in a whole different way by using geographic information systems (GIS) to transform raw data into attractive illustrations. That — and more — is possible with Hexagon’s advanced GIS platform, M.App Enterprise.
By visualizing data in a 2D interactive dashboard, users can gain insights into global sport success. Join us as we explore how M.App Enterprise transforms Olympic and Paralympic data into dynamic, useful insights, showcasing the true potential of GIS technology in sports analytics.
Comprehensive view of athletic achievements
The inspiration for this use case was a simple question: what if we could take Olympic and Paralympic results and visualize them on a map? One of our colleagues, while reviewing an Olympic results sheet, imagined how much more useful it would be to see the winning countries displayed geographically. This sparked the idea to leverage M.App Enterprise to create a visual representation of global Olympic success. We applied the same analysis to the Paralympic Games, ensuring a comprehensive view of athletic achievements across both events.
Using open data available online, we set out to build a use case that would not only make the results more widely available, but also highlight the significant capabilities of our GIS platform. With M.App Enterprise, users can easily visualize where the world’s top athletes are from and explore Olympic and Paralympic statistics based on location.
Transforming raw data into engaging, interactive maps makes it easier for users and customers to gain valuable insights, demonstrating how M.App Enterprise simplifies complex data and empowers users to explore the world through the lens of GIS technology.
