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
An animated spinning globe visualization showing data visualization studios and their locations across the globe using an Icosahedral projection.
This visualization uses the Icosahedral projection from D3, which projects the globe onto the surface of a regular icosahedron (20-sided polyhedron), creating a unique polyhedral representation of the world that minimizes distortion across multiple faces.
Features
- Spinning Globe: Continuously rotating icosahedral projection for an immersive view
- Icosahedral Projection: Polyhedral perspective that minimizes distortion
- Data Points: Studios projected onto the map based on latitude/longitude
- Color-Coded Regions: Visualized by region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific)
- Interactive Legend: Hover over regions to highlight related studios
- Responsive Design: Adapts to different screen sizes with smooth animations
Interactions
- Hover Legend: Hover over regions in the legend to highlight and emphasize related studios on the spinning globe
Projection
This visualization uses the geoIcosahedral projection from
d3-geo-polygon,
which projects the globe onto a regular icosahedron. This
polyhedral projection divides the world into multiple faces,
each showing a different perspective while maintaining
angular relationships within each face. The globe
continuously rotates to show the complete world over time.
Data
Data sourced from publicly available information about data visualization studios worldwide, including studio names, locations, regions, and contact information.
