I developed 3D GeoTile as a practical exploration into efficient 3D geographic visualization. The project uses three.js for advanced WebGL rendering and integrates geographic data directly from OpenStreetMap via the Overpass API. Key aspects include:
- Dynamic Data Integration: It fetches live OpenStreetMap data with caching mechanisms to ensure data remains current without overwhelming the network.
- Efficient Tile-Based Rendering: The engine breaks maps into individual tiles, enabling smooth zoom and pan interactions even with large datasets.
- User-Centric Adjustments: The map view automatically centers based on the user’s location, making the experience tailored and responsive.
This project serves as a showcase of combining real-time data fetching, optimized rendering techniques, and personalized user experiences within a 3D web environment.
