Worked on the backend, using node.js and Express framework to set up our server. Set up GET/POST requests between front-end and backend

I helped work on the frontend. Mainly setting up the HTML/CSS of the initial page and learning how to use three.js and WebGL to combine a minimalist search field form with our vision of a 3D animated Earth rotating on its own axis as well as an orbiting set of envelopes (with ultimate goal of user interaction in mind). The biggest challenge was figuring out how to manipulate lowpoly object and jpg files to appear and behave exactly how we wanted them to in the scene. The trial-and-error process was so exhaustive we did not have time to properly connect front and backend, so we showcased the two separately in the end.
