Got 2nd place in the Google DeepMind SG hackathon! I built a webapp that converts 2d topo maps into 3d colourful renders + lets you fly through and ask gemini live api what you're looking at.

1. download any @USGS topo map (.tif or .jpg) 2. pull elevation from @awscloud terrain tiles 3. @NanoBanana pro (via @fal) to colour the maps 4. hop on the plane with @GeminiApp live api as your tour guide

here's a live demo: and the github repo:

big shoutout to @agrimsingh for letting me in and thanks to @SherryYanJiang and the rest of the @65labslah team for organising the event :) happy to wear a gemini cap to the claude code meet up next week if you can get me one @thorwebdev

@GoogleDeepMind such a cool visually stunning project! the renders are insane.

thanks sherry! you guys did such a great job organising :)

Hey, Ruban, how are you doing? We just created a token for your project! We’d absolutely love to onboard you into our ecosystem — you’re already receiving fees from it, so you're earning passively just by being part of this. Your friend @SherryYanJiang did the exact same thing with PeekMoney and it’s been working great for her! There will be a big hackathon too that you can be a part of it. @BagsHackathon You can learn more or dm @finnbags to understand! There's already 555$ for you to claim in minutes and will become much more with your endorsement and recognition. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to understand more!

@GoogleDeepMind very cool, also made me think of how crazy I’d have been abt this if this had been a thing years ago when I started…. I’d have spent so much more time building random stuff

@GoogleDeepMind Great work! Thats impressive!

@GoogleDeepMind THIS IS SO COOL!!!! you inspired me to try something similar using topical data from @NASA <3

@GoogleDeepMind love this!

@GoogleDeepMind ty! was my first time trying out some of gemini's stuff too. everything went really smooth

@GoogleDeepMind crazy fun project!

@GoogleDeepMind yes ser! see ya at the next one

@GoogleDeepMind by far super crazy project I have ever seen developed in short time ruhan. I really loved the way you presented, mad respect +++

@threejs @GoogleDeepMind I saw @dpoxley working on something similar?

@GoogleDeepMind Congrats 🙌 looks like a fun project.

@GoogleDeepMind This is so good

@GoogleDeepMind Congrats man you're so impressive

aww man, coming from you!! ty

@GoogleDeepMind Incredible work

@GoogleDeepMind This is insanely good

@GoogleDeepMind @CodeWithKyrian

@GoogleDeepMind insane!

@GoogleDeepMind Wow, very interesting

@GoogleDeepMind Wow… dont stop, follow the urge to combine, create and innovate! 🙌🏻👏🏻🤩

@GoogleDeepMind damn this is cool

thank u walter!

@GoogleDeepMind wow, just wow!

@GoogleDeepMind Love it!

@GoogleDeepMind brilliant demo!

@GoogleDeepMind Woohoo, congrats!!!

@GoogleDeepMind 😲😲

@GoogleDeepMind Looks like @levelsio needs to up his game.

@GoogleDeepMind this is stunning

@GoogleDeepMind How you managed the topography 3d?

@threejs !!

@GoogleDeepMind Awesome man!

@GoogleDeepMind Congratulations on your achievement. I have sent you a message regarding your projects. Please take a look. Thank you.

@GoogleDeepMind really cool!
