Deep Dive is an interactive web platform that turns NASA’s open datasets into immersive 3D experiences using WebXR, React, and Three.js.
Instead of looking at static charts, users can explore oceans, skies, and space through real NASA data — directly from their browser, no VR headset required.
🎯 “From numbers to narratives — turning NASA’s data into living experiences.”
NASA collects a massive amount of satellite data every day from missions like:
- 🛰 PACE – Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean Ecosystem Mission
- 🌊 SWOT – Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission
- 🌎 GRACE-FO – Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On
🔹 The problem:
- The data is too complex for most people.
- It’s hidden in spreadsheets, graphs, or APIs.
- The emotional story behind the data gets lost.
🧩 In short: NASA has the data — but the story is missing.
We built Deep Dive Hub, a VR-ready storytelling platform that transforms NASA’s data into interactive, visual, and emotional stories.
Users can experience oceans, planets, and asteroids like never before — visually, emotionally, and interactively.
🌐 “Data exists, but stories make it human.”
