## What it is
Streets GL is a real-time 3D map renderer that visualizes OpenStreetMap data in the browser using WebGL2. It generates geometry on the fly for buildings, roads, and terrain, with advanced rendering features like PBR deferred shading and postprocessing effects.

## Use cases
- explore OpenStreetMap data in 3D
- visually validate OSM map data
- render 3D city buildings from OpenStreetMap
- view real-time air traffic on a 3D globe
- create eye-candy 3D map visualizations in the browser

## When to choose
- you want a browser-based 3D visualization of OpenStreetMap data
- you need realistic rendering with atmosphere, lighting, and postprocessing effects
- you want to visually inspect OSM building and road geometry

## When to avoid
- you need a production-stable mapping tool with guaranteed feature completeness
- you need a general-purpose GIS analysis tool rather than visual exploration
- your target browsers lack WebGL2 support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: data-visualization, graphics, simulation
- domain: web-development, graphics
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: openstreetmap, webgl2, 3d-rendering, typescript, map-renderer, pbr, deferred-shading, maps, web-server
