The visualization combines a full-screen slippy map with a small inset globe that shows the current map extent. The globe uses an orthographic projection with radial gradients to create a shaded, three-dimensional appearance, while the main map displays Stamen tiles with an overlaid semi-transparent polygon indicating the visible region. Built with D3 v3, the example uses d3.geo.orthographic, d3.geo.path, and d3.geo.graticule, and loads world land and country boundaries from TopoJSON files, with city points from a GeoJSON places file.
