This project is built with simple, old-school web technology, but the magic comes from the following projects:
- three.js: 3D library
- webgl-heatmap: Heatmap drawn with WebGL shaders
- Turf.js: Advanced geospatial anaylsis
- Parcel: Web application bundler
This project wouldn't be possible without John Hopkins University's reseach and coronavirus data. Their freely available CSSEGISandData/COVID-19 is the source of data for this project.
This project uses data from the Natural Earth dataset, processed with mapshaper.
Huge thanks to James Hastings-Trew's Planetary Pixel Emporium for his amazing 4K Earth textures.
Thanks to @yonet for TweetMigration, which was used as the basis for this project.
