Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 2, Utility: 4)

This project provides a browser-based light pollution simulator that uses real photometric data from LDT/IES files, enabling visualization of skyglow effects. It is interesting because it combines photometric data with web technologies to address an environmental issue, though currently lacks substantial documentation or code clarity.

Target audience: environmental researchers, lighting designers, urban planners

Repository: https://iesna.eu/?wasm=skyglow_demo
