COVID-19 Viz 3D ~ Interactive 3D Globe ~ Update 2020-04-14

@Strapdoor_Inc

The NY Times data will be an interesting one to chart. Will it be useful? that remains to be seen. The dat format feels like mainframe/mid-century modern stuff.

@Jay_E

Yup the greens are back - and as flaky as ever


The current version has access to four web page charts - so all a bit complicated. But if you ask me, i with the Wikipedia date is the one to follow. We shall see. In any case State/County/Province data should start appearing soon most everywhere.

The underlying globe bitmap is beginning to suck - needs resuscitation.

But with a new release every day these issues will be dealt with eventually,

Stay calm and code on, whatever,

Theo

Hi Theo! Glad to see the efforts moving along… I hosted first review test** - need ot get a better mic and most likely will shorten reviews… (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/586169392)

I think it’s coming to a point where I am thinking the scale needs some tweaking because visually its getting very hard to see usa and get visual insights on other places… (mostly with smaller numbers) I am wondering (based on the scale you had) maybe you can try to turn it into a count of tens, or hundreds… (just for the visual scale)

@Jay_E

I watch a good part of your Twitch show.Good idea and lots of fun. Please add me as a subscriber

Done!

See latest releases. Coming soon the ability to toggle between log and linear scales

Hi @theo, like most everyone I am spinning 1000 miles/hr against the matrix…so didn’t continue the twitch streams, bandwidth a bit tight…
but been checking in on a regular basis… the horrible increase of numbers.

wanted to bring to your attention a small bug, seems total numbers are missing some numbers.

Hope you are well and sound.

also one question, could we somehow bring this into a webXr ready three.js environment?

Hi @Jay_E

I Thanks for pointing out the missing numbers issue, A bit weird. I will look into it.

On a happier note, I have been working on a new template for building 3D globes

The basic template is here

https://www.ladybug.tools/spider-covid-19-viz-3d/cookbook/globe-template/

A remix is here - with data for 15,494 cities

A covid-19 version is underway here

https://www.ladybug.tools/spider-covid-19-viz-3d/cookbook/globe-pandemic-worldometer/

The worldometer site provides very recent data and nore types of statistics.

Fingers crossed this gets going nicely sometime this week

also one question, could we somehow bring this into a webXr ready three.js environment?

I have been thinking about this a lot. Have you had a look at https://hubs.mozilla.com/ ? Based on A-frame. It might be fun to crawl around a Globe here. What do you think?
