This spinning globe visualizes the global submarine cable network, with individual cables drawn as curved arcs over Earth’s surface. The visualization uses Three.js for 3D rendering, including texture mapping and interactive rotation. Cable coordinates come from the TeleGeography submarine cable dataset, loaded via a custom map parser. The globe automatically rotates, and users can drag to explore the network. The implementation relies on Three.js’s `SphereGeometry` and `ORBITAL` controls, with the cable paths rendered as `LineCurveGeometry` instances.
