Representação de coreografias virtuais interativas com recurso ao Three.js: o caso de uso das manchas de óleo

Abstract

The interactive visualization of complex environmental phenomena, such as oil spills, presents significant challenges and opportunities in the field of digital technologies. This work explores the use of the Three.js library to create a web-based platform that allows users to track oil spills in different parts of the world on a three-dimensional globe. The main motivation was the application of digital twin concepts and the creation of interactive choreographies in the digital world, offering new possibilities for the representation and exploration of global phenomena. The approach combined advanced graphic rendering techniques, spatial data integration, and the development of interactive web-based interfaces. The work resulted in a functional prototype that enables users to explore data in an intuitive and interactive way. The prototype provides functionalities to visualize the location of oil spills and to inspect affected areas through a temporal evolution layer.
