The golden-biosentinel project is a comprehensive platform designed for the GLOC 2026 Innovation Challenge. It focuses on biodiversity and ecosystem resilience by integrating satellite data with ground sensors and AI for real-time monitoring.
The platform combines high-resolution multi-spectral and hyperspectral satellite data with ground-based IoT bio-acoustic sensors, camera traps, and environmental sensors. It uses advanced technologies like Next.js, FastAPI, and PyTorch to provide real-time insights into biodiversity and ecosystem health.
The homepage will feature an interactive "Digital Ecosystem Twin" using @react-three/fiber. Users can explore a 3D model of Rwanda’s national parks, with clickable hotspots for detailed information on species and environmental data. The interface will have smooth transitions and animations powered by gsap, creating an immersive experience that highlights the platform's futuristic nature-tech theme.
The landing page will use a "parallax" interaction model. Layers of atmospheric elements will move at different speeds as users scroll, creating a sense of depth. Key sections will feature scroll-triggered animations and hover transitions, enhancing user engagement.
