So how much of this is open source and available? I can see lots of uses for something that looks this good and to which you can overlay your own information.

- rauar 14y agoTo be fair: I took one of the Google Chrome Experiments (can't find the exact demo right now but here's where they are hosted: http://www.chromeexperiments.com/webgl/ http://www.chromeexperiments.com/webgl/), stripped it down, customized it (using particles instead of animated lines) and pump the geo data into the globe. So I'd say with Three.js, Google's code for the Globe it's in the end just a couple of Javascript lines for the page and the customization of the globe. I'd say 98% is open source from a technical perspective.
- mcdee 14y agoInteresting. Would be great to have something like that with interaction built out as a simple component. Hmm...
- rauar 14y agoHmm. I think a component would be possible but then it would be rather "static". Customizing it to your needs would most probably mean changing code in most cases ...
