KoalaWorld
A self-hosted 3D geo-visualization globe with real-time earthquakes, wildfires, weather, air quality and ISS tracking.
Overview
KoalaWorld renders an interactive 3D globe in the browser using Three.js and overlays real-time geospatial data from USGS, NASA FIRMS, Open-Meteo and others. Fully self-hostable via Docker with a Go backend and SQLite — no external databases required.
Backstory
KoalaWorld was a proof of concept to evaluate the capabilities of local AI models. I wanted to see if they could generate a smooth WebGL 3D rendering of Earth that visualizes real-time geospatial data from various open APIs.
