Description

Feature Request

Requester: @ETSells

Request Description

Our 3d render only shows the vehicle's orientation. It would be great if we could also render position relative to the surface (latitude + longitude) and altitude (using the barometric altitude reading -- we can compensate on our end to give you a rough altitude AGL).

I don't know enough about the project to suggest an implementation for you, but there is a library that can do something like this: https://github.com/googlemaps/js-three.

Timeline

No strong deadline on this! This is kind of a nice-to-have and should be prioritized below stability fixes and better data viz for the main sensor readings.

Assigning to @favillat to reassign, prioritize, and schedule at will :)
