We already publish the current endpoints for the mobile apps to use, and we'll be adding some new ones to the feed this year (when we know what they'll be). The model we're working towards is to publish a set of endpoints (chatrooms, video streams etc.) that clients (eg web browser, mobile app) join together. We have a team working on this, but if anyone here has the time and skills to help us, send a message to info@fosdem.org outlining what you might be able to offer (especially your time during December and January). So you would "just" need to digest that same feed and wrap a 3D visual environment around it and offer it to people as one of the alternative viewing options. We already have traditional mapping data presented at nav.fosdem.org which you could use as a starting point for the location. (We did discuss going 3D like this early on, but ruled out doing it ourselves this year as it would be too much of a distraction and we need to focus on the getting the essential elements right first.)
