Below is an example where I just print the Lat and Long, in the aesthetics of a traditional CLI terminal. This is live data, provided as a string. In creative programming, these parameters can manipulated in the code using basic arithmetic to allow for subtle or exaggerated changes in parameters.

Here the Gizmo lags behind a single fetch-cycle, this is because the ISS API only refreshes every second. I wanted a smooth transition for the 3d element and had to interpolate from the previous frame to the current one. I have also exaggerated its rotational axis by a factor of 50 so that movement is easier to interpret at a glance.

I wanted the Gizmo to maintain the aesthetic of the CLI Terminal and so removed the interpolation and added a shader that introduces a CRT flicker, and retains the single-second update.

All of my examples thus far have been predictable use cases for ISS data. One last one is below and utilises the current altitude of the ISS. It plots its course over a rough projection of the earth. These examples live as a pseudo-instrumentation for monitoring such a satellite. The stroke-weight is larger when at a higher altitude and smaller at a lower altitude.
