Data Visualization Studios Worldwide
An animated globe shows the worldwide locations of data visualization studios, with points color-coded by region. The visualization uses a spinning orthographic projection, rendered as an SVG, to display the Earth from space. The globe rotates using `requestAnimationFrame`, and the `d3.geoOrthographic` projection updates the positions of the data points in real time. A legend allows users to interactively highlight studios by region, using `d3.scaleOrdinal` for color mapping, with the studio data loaded from a CSV file.
AI-generated descriptionData Visualization Studios Around the World
A map visualization showing data visualization studios and their locations across the globe using a Dodecahedral projection.
This visualization uses the Dodecahedral projection from D3, which projects the globe onto the surface of a regular dodecahedron (12-sided polyhedron), creating a unique polyhedral representation of the world that minimizes distortion across multiple faces.
Features
- Dodecahedral projection for a polyhedral perspective view
- Data points projected onto the map based on latitude/longitude
- Color-coded by region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific)
- Responsive design with smooth transitions
Interactions
- Hover: Hover over regions in the legend to highlight related studios
Projection
This visualization uses the geoDodecahedral projection
from
d3-geo-polyhedron,
which projects the globe onto a regular dodecahedron. This
polyhedral projection divides the world into multiple faces,
each showing a different perspective while maintaining
angular relationships within each face.
Data
Data sourced from publicly available information about data visualization studios worldwide.
