Github Globe
Inspiration
This project was inspired by Github's homepage, where they display real-time Github activity on a globe map.
Implementation
The globe is constructed with three-globe, a ThreeJS data-visualization project made by @vasturiano. Then, the scene is shaded with a dim ambient light and multiple directional lights to resemble a dreamy space environment. The globe's MeshPhongMaterial is also adjusted to fit the environment.
Live demo
All my attended/cancelled flights (2019-2020) are displayed on the globe. If you try to follow one arc, that would be the sequence of my travel destinations. Red arcs are cancelled flights.
Documentation
Please visit three-globe for detailed documentation if you want to edit the Globe object to add data visualization. Speaking of the Glow, three-globe does not let you access the glow mesh object yet, so the default glow was turned off and a separate three-glow-mesh is added to the scene instead.
