Continuous scale-space globe prototype interpolates 4D geometry as you zoom
anselm · x · 2026-09-21
A prototype map by Naluh replaces discrete zoom levels with a continuous function of scale: geometry gets refined seamlessly as you zoom, described as 4D geometry interpolated across scale.
The WebGPU demo ("a scale-space globe") lets you zoom continuously from Earth down to Rade de Brest, with split-screen and wireframe modes to compare against today's discrete zoom pyramids. Try it online.
