All sky rendering using WebGPU

Live demo here

What is it ?

An example showing the rendering of allsky projections using wgpu-rs. Allsky projections are used in many ways to represented the earth or the sky on a 2d plane. This method does the projection per-pixel and runs in realtime.

Supported projections are:

• Aitoff
• Mercator
• Mollweide
• Azimuthal
• Gnomonic

See this link for information about map projections.

Test as a native application

# Run
$ cargo run --release

Test on the browser (WIP)

1. Install wasm-pack

2. Install dev dependencies (e.g. vite)

npm install

3. Test the web (WASM) version

npm run demo
