InfoGlobe

Inspiration

Inspiration came from fun interactive maps, where you can go play around the globe and find interesting stuff. Geoguessr and Radio Garden come to mind when I think of "fun" interactive maps

What it does

The web app allows you to search for cities and countries. Based on your query the app gives you some Wikipedia information, if it's available. You can also switch between different map layers, some of them are provided by the Sentinel-hub service. They show certain information about the space you're looking at. For example urbanization or greenery in cities. The app allows you to pick between two dates, so you get date-specific satellite images from sentinel

Challenges we ran into

Giving the right request parameters for sentinel to give us satellite data on specific time. Successfully getting a WSM layer with Vue2Leaflet library Figuring out custom scripts for sentinel satellites

Using sentinel API to get data we wanted was hard at first. We also hit the wall with receiving right data from Wikidata. Challenges mostly came from services we didn't understand well and not from coding.

Accomplishments that We're proud of

Integration of custom layers from sentinel to our web app Simple, yet beautiful and working app. It's not complex but it does it's job well.

What we learned

I learned something about light waves and it's reflection properties, how you can use them to detect certain properties. I learned how to use the sentinel-hub dashboard and about writing and integrating custom scripts/layers
