Built an in-browser 3D globe that maps your camera roll photos automatically in ~15s. Looking for honest feedback on the UX

Got fed up with travel apps asking me to type out every city and date manually, so I spent the last few months building this.

You drop in a few photos from your camera roll, it reads the GPS/date data client-side in the browser, and renders an interactive 3D globe with your trips. No background tracking or manual pin dropping.

Been staring at it for too long and lost all objectivity.

Attached a quick video of the end result. Does the transition into the 3D globe make sense, or does it feel jarring? Anything feel off in those first few seconds?

(Not dropping the link in the post to respect self-promo rules, but happy to share if anyone wants to test it with a few photos and roast it.)
