2015 Seattle House Galaxy
The visualization renders approximately 7,000 rows of 2015 Seattle house price data as a three-dimensional scatter plot of glowing, color-coded sprites. Price, living square footage, and year built map to the x, y, and z axes, while floor count determines color. Built with D3 for data loading and scaling, and Three.js for WebGL rendering, it uses canvas-generated gradient sprites for high pixel density displays. Animated rotation is controlled via D3's zoom behavior, with a slow automatic pan.
