The best visual guides to understanding the Nepal disaster

The devastating avalanche in Nepal on August 26, caused by the collapse of a Himalayan glacier, has so far killed more than 1,200 people, with more than 4,200 missing. This tragedy has become one of the most extensively documented natural disasters in history, with striking video footage circulating constantly across media and social networks worldwide over the past few days.

Numerous news organizations and other institutions have made a special effort to visually explain what happened — how this enormous flood that swept away entire towns came to be. At "On the Net Today" we wanted to round up some of the most interesting pieces we've seen:

Additionally, as a companion piece, DW has published an article explaining how the right combination of satellite information, seismic detection, glacier and slope monitoring, river levels, and automated alerts could provide critical minutes of warning to affected populations.

Enjoy an interactive tour of U.S. national parks

On August 20, Google Arts & Culture and the U.S. National Park Service launched the interactive digital special United Parks of America, which lets you explore more than 60 U.S. national parks for free from home.

In total there are more than 450 virtual tours, 5,000 images, 200 stories, 60 videos, 50 collections, 3D objects, and an AI-powered narrative experience dedicated to Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia.

This multimedia, interactive guide to the history, culture, and beauty of America's national parks lets us travel to iconic parks like the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and Yellowstone, among many others.

This is a new virtual exhibit available on Google Arts & Culture, a great digital service we've mentioned before in "On the Net Today," which is now celebrating its 15th anniversary.

This video introduces the project:

Anthropeum: guess when and where a work of art was created

Screenshot from the Anthropeum game

Anthropeum is a daily online game in which users must place ten works of art from the Metropolitan Museum's collection in time and geographic location.

The game was created by Matthew Chu, a 21-year-old student at the University of Washington studying Accounting and Data Science. Chu used the Met's Open Access initiative, which offers images and data for nearly 500,000 works from its collection, to build the game.

After finishing, users see how they rank compared to other players.

Since its recent launch, done without any promotion, the game has seen remarkable growth: within nine days it already had 10,000 daily players.

The game has a strong educational element, since after a user answers, it shows information about the artwork and links to its record in the Met's collection.

  • Why?

    If you often edit video on your phone, you've probably run into apps that promise a lot in their free version but end up limiting essential features or adding watermarks when you export your work. That's exactly why I recommend VN Video Editor.
    It's one of the few tools that offers a truly complete experience, on par with a professional video editor, without having to pay for a subscription.
    VN lets you work with multi-track video and audio editing, use keyframes to create advanced animations, automatically sync cuts to the beat of the music, export in high quality with no watermark, and access a wide catalog of transitions, graphic resources, fonts, music, and sound effects. It also includes AI-powered features, such as automatic subtitle generation and background removal.
    As I said at the start, I recommend it especially because, unlike other more popular apps, it never gives you that constant feeling of using a trial version waiting for you to pay up to unlock the genuinely useful features. Its interface is intuitive for beginners, yet powerful and versatile enough for the most demanding content creators. It's available for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac.
