A topographic mapping app concept. Goal was on creating an app that lets users easily get elevation data based on GPS coordinates. The focus was updating elevation changes in real time and calculating them. Ideal for hikers, mountain bikers, climbers and snowboarders where altitude is of most importance.

Technically, this involved designing a custom map, based on a height-field image of Yosemite Valley. Brought into Blender to transform it into a 3D landscape then sliced up to get a topographic display also in 3D. Rive, with data binding was used to implement scrolling/panning of the map, while still allowing for click interactions to toggle between terrain view and topographic view. Javascript with AI assistance was implemented to get GPS data and drive the elevation displays.
