Geospatial Qibla Visualiser

Interactive 3D Globe for Qibla Direction Determination

The Geospatial Qibla Visualiser is an interactive 3D globe-based desktop application that demonstrates the method for determining the direction of the Kaaba from any location on Earth. Built as a cross-platform native app for macOS and Windows, it offers an immersive way to explore the geometry behind Qibla direction.

Using geographic coordinates and great-circle calculations, the app visualises the Qibla path on a digital globe with real-time positioning. It also overlays solar and lunar positions, multiple map layers, and user-selected locations — making it a practical tool for learning celestial alignment and Islamic prayer orientation.
