3D Data Visualisations - Transforming Complex Data Into Intuitive Insights

Each month, NASA captures satellite images showing the extent and volume of Arctic sea ice.

We built a 3D visualiser using WebGL (BabylonJS) and React to transform large volumes of data in to an easy to understand 3D data visualiser, helping uncover trends and stories within.

Rationale

The datasets are large and complex. Navigating them can be challenging, especially for those without training or the special tools to interpret the data effectively.

While traditional visualisations like 2D graphs and charts are helpful, they don't fully convey the spatial nature of Arctic sea ice data.

Our goal is to make this data more accessible.
