What can we learn by visualizing global weather station data in a 3D environment using Three.js?
Background
We visualized weather stations around the world in a 3D environment.
What did we learn?
Besides getting familiar with 'Three.js' JavaScript 3D library for the first time, we have learned how to use it to visualize data; translating and animating the geo-locations of the weather stations from a more conventional 2D projection mapping to 3D, which resulted in a simple, yet interesting visualization.
Ambitions
This experiment fed into the development of our Weather Chart projects, which elaborated on weather data to a much bigger extent.
