Current navigation apps look awkward in VR. Build a service that transforms OpenStreetMap or Google Maps data into curved projections that feel natural in 3D environments. Target headset manufacturers and navigation app developers. Start with a simple WebGL demo showing one city. The biggest risk is VR adoption timelines being slower than expected.

3D navigation maps for VR headsets
Create an API that converts standard navigation data into curved 3D projections compatible with AR/VR headsets.
Why now
As VR adoption grows, navigation apps need spatial interfaces beyond flat screens.
