Scroll expeditions — Rajan Agarwal

Real routes · public data · in the browser

Two routes, rendered from 30 m elevation data and Sentinel-2 imagery by an offline pipeline, and read by scrolling. Every figure on screen — distance, ascent, altitude, the next checkpoint and its cut-off — is computed from those files rather than typed in. Pick one and scroll it.

A city

The same pipeline pointed at built ground rather than open ground — buildings instead of contours, streets instead of a trail.
