How are these interactive visualizations made? As a senior machine learning engineer (with only rudimentary JS skills) it would be fantastically fun to make something like these.

- dt3ft 5y agoBeautiful. I also checked the archives on that blog and every article is a work of art. I would love to work with this dev!
- openfuture 5y agoSomeone told me that apparently they aren't made, they are discovered.
- onion2k 5y agoIt's WebGL in a <canvas>, written by hand by the looks of the source - https://ciechanow.ski/js/gps.js https://ciechanow.ski/js/gps.js
- tiborsaas 5y agoThe author wrote his own WebGL library. If you don't have much knowledge about 3D, then https://threejs.org/ https://threejs.org/ is a fantastic library to learn. It abstracts away much of the tedious part. Not sure what's the best starting point to learn, but there's lots of videos on YT to help you get started.
- pahn 5y agonot what he/she uses, but if you are interested in these kind of things, check out https://cables.gl/ https://cables.gl/ . it provides you with an in-browser, graphical, node based interface where you can just connect boxes together and it will output js-code ready to implement in your website. (disclosure: i know the dev plus am a huge fan!)
- rathish_g 5y agoCable.gl is excellent.
- supernova87a 5y agoOf all the reasons, I was stunned with how much detail went into the work at seeing the little globe/Earth in the satellite orbits section -- the Earth has the weather patterns and clouds running in animation as you spin the globe around!
