DaveTech City — weather, location, and presence
The playable 3D city estimates your approximate location from your IP address using a local GeoLite2 database (MaxMind). Your IP address is looked up on the server and never sent to a third-party service for geolocation.
Weather data is fetched from MET Norway (api.met.no), a national meteorological service providing open data under CC BY 4.0. The server forwards your approximate coordinates (latitude/longitude, rounded to 4 decimal places) to MET Norway to retrieve the current forecast. MET Norway does not receive your IP address.
Weather and location data are cached in your browser for 15 minutes to avoid repeated requests. Clearing your browser storage removes this cache.
In the multiplayer city, your visitor identifier, position, orientation, and held item are shared with other connected visitors via the realtime server. No name, email, or contact detail is shared in the city.
The HourFlix cinema inside the city streams video through a server-side proxy. The proxy fetches the playlist from the source server; your browser receives the stream from our server, not directly from the source.
All city data flows are non-essential. You can use manual weather mode, avoid the multiplayer city, or close the page at any time. Offline or failed requests fall back to cached or default weather without error.
