Show HN: Text to 3D simulation on a map (does history pretty well) with gmaps++ worldlens.co

Resubmitting text to 3d simulation on a map because during the last submission, I quickly reached my quota on Google's photorealistic 3d map tiles, leaving many confused.

You can simulate anything on a map in 3d, and it recreates historical events pretty well. It also now includes a timeline of events for each simulation.

The goal is to create a simulator that can meaningfully predict the past -- and future events.

Now I have an increased daily quota and in case it's reached, a system for providing your own api key.

Glad for feedback. I built the frontend with threejs, the atmospheric fx libraries on at takram-design-engineering/three-geospatial, and the other public materials on my Github. The MARL model representing humans (white cubes) is still in progress -- for now the simulants mostly run away from things.

Video in case it's down: https://youtu.be/V8sA1Ibfy6M
