[GSoC 2026] Interest in SeaSee'r: Underwater Mapping Project — Python/ML/Full Stack Background

[Sravani Gurram]

Hi Catrobat Team,

My name is SRAVANI GURRAM. I am interested in applying for the SeaSee'r: Underwater Mapping and Exploration project for GSoC 2026.

My background:

• Python, Machine Learning, Deep Learning
• Full Stack and Backend development
• Git/GitHub

I have reviewed the project description and the entry task (Three.js panorama viewer). I have already started setting up my development environment and repository.

I have a few questions:

1. Are the three panorama images provided by the team, or should I use publicly available equirectangular images for the entry task?
2. Is there a preferred web framework (React/Vue/Svelte) for the viewer?
3. Is there anything specific you want to see prioritized in the entry task submission?

Thank you for your time. I look forward to contributing!

Best regards, Sravani Gurram

Dear Sravani,

Thank you for your interest. Your background seems like a good fit for us!

Regarding your questions:
1. We initially intended to provide our internal images, but you can use publicly available images for now, e.g., Wikipedia Commons
2. There is no preferred framework; whichever framework you choose and feel comfortable working in is best!

3. We do not have specific guidelines, but would love to see creative approaches to navigate between the panoramas! E.g., hovering with the mouse reveals 'paths' to other panoramas ;)

Best of luck!

Cheers,

Benedikt
