There are some crazy lightning storms over China in the live video feed at the moment. Very cool.
One thing I would change is to change the yellow dot to an actual image of the ISS. It would also be cool to be able to zoom in a little bit more (and maybe use some higher resolution images of the globe).
- matteason 2y agoIt did originally have a little model of the ISS actually but I ran into some issues with the model loader - going to try and reinstate that feature
- spuz 2y agoLooking at your real-time cloud rendering, have you considered trying to interpolate between the images provided every 3 hours by EUMETSAT? I have tried this using images from DISCOVR but I'm not totally happy with the result. I wonder if you or anyone else might have some ideas to get more realistic movement between the clouds inbetween each 3 hour interval? https://github.com/alexspurling/earthflow https://github.com/alexspurling/earthflow
- matteason 2y agoI've wanted to do it but didn't really know where to start, so I'm very interested to hear if anyone has any pointers. I'll have a look at your project too
- nullhole 2y agoThat makes me think: adding a live lighting map / lightning locations would be neat, since that is the kind of thing you can see from the video feed. There's a couple crowdsourced lighting status websites out there, might be possible to use the same data feed...
- matteason 2y agoThat's a brilliant idea - looks like https://www.blitzortung.org https://www.blitzortung.org allows their data to be used in non commercial projects so I'll look into that
