Solving a Real Problem with Advanced Technology

This project was born out of a personal need: to plan my off-piste skiing trip to Niseko, Japan. I faced a significant challenge: the available maps were neither accurate nor detailed enough to ensure my safety in the more challenging areas of the mountain. Leveraging my knowledge in web development and 3D technology, I decided to create my own solution. 4

Key Skills Highlighted

  • Problem Analysis and Critical Thinking: I identified a gap in the market and turned it into an opportunity to innovate by designing a user-focused tool.
  • Technical and Development Skills: I utilized advanced web development and 3D modeling technologies to create an interactive application that not only solves problems but also offers a stunning visual experience. 4

Development and Transformation of Satellite Data into 3D Models

The core of Create 3D Terrain Maps is its ability to transform satellite data into fully editable 3D models, using advanced geospatial data handling techniques and 3D visualization skills. 1

Technical Skills Utilized

  • Web App Development: I implemented technologies like Open Layer to capture map data and transform it into 3D models. I used Three.js to create detailed 3D objects from 2D images, applying complex meshes with vertices adjusted according to the latitude coordinates obtained. 4

  • 3D Modeling and Visualization: I incorporated capabilities to manipulate 3D models in real-time, including texturing, scaling, and visualization in formats like GLTF and wireframe. 4

  • Performance Optimization: The application is optimized to perform efficiently on both desktop web browsers and mobile devices, using technologies like WebGL to handle complex 3D models without compromising the user experience. 4

Innovation and Future Vision

One of the most exciting features of Create 3D Terrain Maps is its potential for continuous evolution. I am working on integrating artificial intelligence to predict avalanches and advanced topographical data visualization.

How do I plan to achieve this? In other projects, I have developed physical simulations in 3D environments that allow for collisions and complex physics to be applied to models. My idea is to extend these capabilities to 3D terrains, analyzing particle behavior under simulated topographical conditions.
