Looks great! Any particularly useful frameworks you used? Guessing the graphics are just OpenGL? I've started on something similar but for plane identification

- folli 10y agoThanks! Yes, the graphics are OpenGL, however I haven't used any frameworks. It's essentially a static scene showing the horizon, the elevation and azimuth lines, and the Sun/Moon sphere, while the camera sits in the origin and points to the location given by the compass/gyroscope. Your project sounds cool, will you also be using OpenGL, or have you come up with another approach? I still don't feel very comfortable using OpenGL, it's a bit too complicated for my taste.
- skeletonjelly 10y agoOpenGL. Yeah I didn't find it too great of an experience. Especially after finding out the myriad devices that are needed to support and their different OpenGL frameworks. Ended up just doing a PoC but gave up around the time I had to do the actual maths. With holidays coming up maybe I'll give it another shot. There's a company I think would find the app useful so it has a commercial reality too! Will check back in with you to see how you're going if I remember
