Good 3d visualization is tricky, this is a good example of a 3d fail. The 3d here adds more trouble than goods. It makes it harder to see the whole set of data

Good 3d visualization is tricky, this is a good example of a 3d fail. The 3d here adds more trouble than goods. It makes it harder to see the whole set of data and it is also harder to compare.

As someone else mentioned, there's a 2D version as well (http://bl.ocks.org/syntagmatic/6769077 http://bl.ocks.org/syntagmatic/6769077). Personally I loved the 3D version. I found it interesting and fun.
