Investigate webgl-based wind layer #944

Closed corradio closed 2 years ago

corradio commented 6 years ago

Saw this demo from the mapbox team: https://mapbox.github.io/webgl-wind/demo/

Quite impressive! Doesn't seem to work on my old iPad though :/

Another fork was done here: https://github.com/astrosat/windgl

We could implement as a custom mapbox layer: https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/7039

I think that's a great idea as the current wind visualization seems to be quite CPU intensive. I just tested the mapbox demo and it works on my iPad Air 2, which is 4,5 years old.

I think this would be a great potential improvement to look further into. However since there's been no activity so far, I'm closing the issue :)
