Agree! They could have cached way more of this. A pre-rendered video would have had the same effect. A fun and impressive thing to build for sure, but its value

- bronson 6y agoYou can’t interact with a video.
- kevincox 6y agoTo be pedantic you can. They would have to ship the locations along side the video. Of course part of the art is that it is real time (ish). That may be harder to do with video. (But I guess it could be a live stream)
- sciurus 6y agoWow, thanks for this comment. It hadn't occurred to me that you could interact with it. Neat! I wonder if I'm just odd, or if people not realizing it's interactive is widespread.
- framecowbird 6y agoI just don't think the interaction is particularly valuable. I looked at the globe and hovered over one PR. Maybe I'm just not curious enough!
