There's probably cool information here but these kind of "interactive" presentations should have stayed in the 90's where they came from. The designers of this app add all kinds of unnecessary navigation and hid everything under tiny sections with only tidbits of info. Don't treat adults like your content is Sesame Street. Let us read stuff, even long stuff, and give us multiple links (not one button per section) like the web was designed for.

The web was explicitly designed with no design. That's like, the whole point man. If you don't like it, there are literally billions of other pages for you to check out and even in this case, a convenient button for you to click to "vote" your displeasure. People are allowed to like things that don't make sense to you or that you don't like. The fact that diversity exists is what makes the internet beautiful.

I think there is room for innovative presentations/visualizations, but yeah, I have to agree this one just misses the mark. Between the various transitions and fades it takes an annoying amount of time to navigate between pages. The 3D transitions between scenes are flashy but, again, slow and don't really add anything. And they went to all this effort of getting 3D models of the inside, but your camera is fixed in place and can barely even rotate around? And you can't zoom? So all you get is a blurry, murky view. A standard photo album would genuinely have been better. The 360-degree view from the top is cool, though. For anyone else who was mostly curious to see the interior shots, Jeff Geerling has a great pair of videos where he and his father go inside a similar broadcast site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_u8x8V4YYs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_u8x8V4YYs
