EarthNow

The world is full of live moments, a night market, a quiet coastline, wildlife at a waterhole, but they are scattered across thousands of feeds no one can find. There is no single, beautiful place to just be somewhere else, right now.

One cinematic globe you can spin and drop into: live views from cities, coasts and wild places around the world, surfaced as glowing points of life on a real-time Earth.

Concept, the 3D globe experience, and the interaction model from the whole-planet atlas down to a single live feed.

• Built an interactive 3D Earth as the home screen, not a menu.
• Placed live feeds as glowing hotspots you explore by spinning the globe.
• Designed the drop-in: from planet, to place, to a single live moment.
• Kept the mood cinematic and dark so the live views are the light.

• The globe is the interface: exploration over search.
• Lead with atmosphere; the planet has to feel alive before any feature.
• One tap from the whole Earth to a single street, with nothing in the way.

• A strong spatial metaphor beats a list: people will explore a globe for fun.
• In an immersive product, restraint and mood are the core features.

• Curated collections (auroras, city nights, wildlife) and following places.
• A personal saved atlas and time-of-day discovery.

A calm, cinematic window on the world has broad, sticky appeal: ambient screens, travel discovery, and a premium tier for curation and higher-quality live feeds.
