What this tool does
GeoScope Explorer combines live feeds and recorded frames into an interactive, visual science workbench. Use Live mode to follow incoming frames in near real-time, or Playback mode to create timelapse replays and study past events. Built-in features include:
Live + Playback Continuous polling for new frames, and configurable playback (window, FPS, reverse, loop).
Frame Export Create WebM timelapses from indexed frames for presentations and analysis.
Local Storage Optional IndexedDB cache to store frames on-device for offline review and export.
Compositing Combine triplet feeds (pressure, density, velocity) into a single image for easier comparison.
Links & Integrations Save direct data feed URLs and open them quickly in new tabs for deeper inspection.
Accessible & Lightweight Minimal dependencies, keyboard shortcuts (Space = play/stop, L = loop, R = reverse), and small payloads for remote deployments.
How to use (Quick-Start)
- Open the main player page and configure the three data URLs (pressure, density, velocity) if you use the composite mode.
- Choose Live to poll the server for the newest frames (adjust poll cadence), or choose Playback to replay a historical window and set FPS.
- Use Export WebM to save a timelapse of the currently cached window.
- Save frequently used feed links with the built-in link bubbles for instant access.
Accessibility & keyboard
