24 alternatives to Interactive 3D WebGL Globe for real-time daylight cycles
Oclock is an interactive 3D WebGL globe that visualizes real-time daylight cycles. Built with Globe.gl and pre-processed spatial data pipeline. Processing Pipeline The data generation is handled by timezone_data_generator.py. This script performs the following: 1. Geometry Analysis: Uses shapely to find a representative point inside each country's boundary. 2. Timezone Mapping: Uses timezonefinder to look up the specific IANA timezone string for those coordinates. 3. Data Injection: Injects the timezone and coordinates back into the GeoJSON properties for use by the frontend. Live Demo:…

Hi HN! I designed this Pole Clock to be a helpful tool for people like myself who often struggle with managing their sense of time. I found that analog clocks are generally easier to read and understand than digital ones, however I find the fact that every day is broken into two 12-hour rotations unintuitive. A single 24-hour rotation makes it easier to grasp where in the day you are, the bottom half representing night and the top half representing day. Additionally, because the clock displays 24 hours, you can add extra hour hands on the clock for other time zones. This is especially useful…

The concept for metiq.space came after playing Global Magnates with friends and realizing how fragmented live global data is. ships, aircraft, satellites, ports, weather, hazards, infrastructure, cyber, and public datasets all exist, but they usually live in separate tools and maps. The goal was to build one interactive 3D globe where live public data could be visualized by latitude, longitude, and altitude. Surface data stays on the globe, while aircraft, satellites, and other above surface things can be represented in actual 3D space instead of being flattened onto a map. The outcome is an…

This is a service I've built to provide equirectangular cloud maps of the whole Earth, updated every 3 hours, for free. It's based on infrared and visible light data from EUMETSAT, processed to enhance the clouds and try to reduce the impact of surface temperatures on the final image. I built it because it's surprisingly hard to find these kinds of images in a format that's useful to developers and hobbyists. I was building a 3D ISS tracker and wanted to include live clouds but couldn't find anything good, so I got sidetracked, and here we are.

Virtual Sun▲101We built CircadianLab, a free in-browser tool for lighting design. It uses webGPU shaders to calculate melanopic equivalent daylight illuminance (mel-EDI, formerly EML, relevant for circadian rhythm and WELL v2 compliance), photopic illuminance, UGR glare per CIE 117, and actual daylight through windows and skylights. It has a database of 400,000+ IES files from 81 lighting manufacturers and supports easy sharing of scenes/configs with other people. Daylight uses the NREL Solar Position Algorithm and a Perez clear / intermediate / overcast sky model, mixed into the same…
