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.

AI-generated description

A 3D scatter plot using Three.js and D3.

This variant uses the high pixel density Canvas technique described in Scaling HTML canvases for HiDPI screens.

Colors and gradient sprite idea inspired by Firefly Cartography.

This visualization shows 2015 Seattle House Price data (approx. 7,000 rows). It's really more of a test of the technique than a readable visualization. Performance remains decent at this number of sprites.

The data was originally visualized in this 2015 Seattle House Price data by GeniXiong.
