Alpine Atlas

Alpine Atlas turns Zermatt into an interactive 3D mountain explorer grounded in real Swiss terrain, aerial imagery, and dated visual evidence. Visitors explore the Matterhorn, changing sunlight, weather-model conditions, and the relationship between rock, glaciers, and water. GPT-6 Astra powers an ask → explore → evidence workflow: it selects a viewpoint through constrained tool calls, compares two dated official camera images, and returns structured observations with image regions users can inspect. Camera observations, modeled conditions, and long-term glacier research stay visibly distinct; recorded Astra runs are explicitly labeled. The custom Three.js landscape uses about one million terrain vertices, georeferenced textures, rock/snow shaders, geographic camera controls, and cinematic orbit. Glacier pins connect sourced change statistics with environmental context and Protect Our Winters resources. Built as a working browser experience during the hackathon.
