Day 43. OpenFlights World Airports ✈️

Built an interactive 3D globe from the OpenFlights Airports Database, mapping 8,000+ airports as queryable points.

The challenge was performance at scale. Plotting is easy, but keeping interaction fluid is not. InstancedMesh optimises rendering, while Raycaster and CSS2DObject keep selection and labels responsive.

Week 6 reflection. Different registers each day.

From experimental data viz to scientific depth and client work, ending on a more playful note.

Day 36 explored Voronoi logic, Day 37 mapped 50k+ cities, Day 38 visualized Antarctica’s gravity in 3D, and Day 39 marked a high point with UNESCO work.

The final days shifted tone: Corgi Routes, an Africa-centered globe, and river hierarchies shaped by Strahler order.
