This visualization shows the evolution of a sparse network of points on a sphere, rendered as an interactive 3D globe. It uses Three.js to display the sphere and its points, while d3.forceSimulation computes a repulsive force between the points to distribute them evenly across the surface. The code reads positions from a data file and applies a custom projection to map geographic coordinates onto the 3D sphere. As the simulation runs, the points visibly repel each other and settle into a more uniform arrangement, with the globe rotating slowly to reveal the entire layout.
