2015 Seattle House Galaxy
This visualization presents 2015 Seattle house prices as an immersive 3D galaxy of glowing sprites, with position encoding price, square footage, and year built, while color represents number of floors. Using Three.js and D3 v5, it generates canvas-based circle sprites with radial gradients inspired by firefly cartography, rendered via WebGL at high pixel density for sharpness on HiDPI screens. The camera automatically rotates and supports drag-based panning to explore the ~7,000 data points loaded from a CSV file.
