WebGL Globe is an open platform for geographic data visualization by the Google Data Arts Team, rendering latitude/longitude data as animated, interactive 3D globes using WebGL and Three.js. It accepts JSON data of series with latitude, longitude, and magnitude values.
Use cases
- visualize population data on a 3D globe
- plot earthquake locations on an interactive globe
- show GitHub user locations geographically
- display realtime data points on a spinning earth
- create a geographic data visualization for the browser
When to choose
- you want to render lat/long magnitude data as spikes on an interactive 3D globe in the browser
- you need a simple, hackable WebGL globe built on Three.js
When to avoid
- you need modern maintained mapping libraries or advanced GIS features
- you need 2D maps or tile-based rendering
- you need long-term support, as the project has not been actively updated since 2020
