Rolled out a trick using fisheye distortion to allow people to explore density spatially via their mouse. To learn how it was done, think about how this works: http://bost.ocks.org/mike/fisheye/ http://bost.ocks.org/mike/fisheye/ Overall, this is quick, dirty and probably missing the point of the original graphic.
