Replace flat, static geography diagrams with a fully interactive 3D planet engine. Lithosphere lets you visualize complex earth and climate science dynamically. Toggle between El Nino and La Nina to watch ocean currents shift, or see fluid wind vectors split at coastlines and bounce off mountain ranges. Optimized with pure WebGL shader math, the entire experience runs buttery-smooth at 60 FPS on mobile and desktop devices without draining your battery.

Hello Product Hunt, maker here. I built Lithosphere because flat, static textbook diagrams make learning earth science frustrating. Memorizing complex global systems like wind currents or ocean heat shifts from 2D arrows just does not work. Lithosphere turns geography into an interactive 3D dashboard. You can toggle between climate phases, watch ocean currents shift during El Nino, and see fluid wind streams bend around mountain ranges in real-time. Everything is optimized with WebGL shader math to run at a smooth 60 FPS directly on your phone without killing your battery. The Android version is live right now, and the Windows version is coming soon. Download the app, test the simulations, and let me know your thoughts on the performance and UI.

How granular can you go when toggling those climate models - is it just the two ENSO states or can you dial in custom ocean temperature scenarios? Curious whether this is built more for exploration or actual research workflows.

The wind currents splitting around the mountains look really cool, and toggling between El Nino and La Nina actually makes the ocean data click for me. Smooth on my phone too, which I wasn't expecting.

How granular can you get with the climate toggles, like can you step through specific El Nino years or is it more of a general shift between the two phases?
