Could you build this?
Partial Rendering an interactive globe with geospatial markers is straightforward, but assembling a verified dataset of 170,000 fictional story settings across 10 languages is a major data problem.
What it would actually take: The front end can be built using Mapbox GL or CesiumJS. The hard part is the data engineering pipeline: pulling movie metadata from sources like IMDb, TMDB, and Wikidata, followed by fine-tuned NLP/LLM extraction to identify narrative locations (as opposed to filming locations), manually validating edge cases, and geocoding thousands of real and fictional places.
