Sentinel Nexus is a hybrid 3D + 2D global risk atlas that visualizes real-time environmental and geopolitical events in an interactive way. Users can explore a 3D globe and seamlessly transition into a 2D heatmap without losing context, thanks to a shared state that keeps both views synchronized.
Built with React, globe.gl, and Leaflet, the project focuses on real-time data visualization using APIs like NASA EONET, USGS, and EPA Envirofacts. One of the key challenges was handling React 18 compatibility issues with mapping libraries, which led to switching from react-leaflet to a more stable vanilla Leaflet approach.
The result is a smooth, immersive experience for exploring global risk data with a modular, draggable UI and a cyber-themed design system.
