Sochi 2014 Interactive Map

Website: http://sochi2014interactivemap.com/#

The website allows the user to drag around to explore Russia, Sochi involvement with olympics in 2014. There are some animations in the background with catches the attention of the user. Some of the graphics will change from a normal dragging hand cursor to a click hand cursor where more information is given about the specific area.

The draggable background image with hovering of individual elements for more information is something I would like to explore for the technology part.

Inspiration: The design showcase is similar to how I would want to portray the cultural festivals in Singapore. The simple hovering gives the user bitesize information which can spark their curiosity to want to learn more about them. The draggable function enables the user to go to discover different festivals and immerse themselves in them.
