Chrome has an hardware black list that will block 3D graphics to a lot of users. Launch Chrome with the --ignore-gpu-blacklist extra parameter to skip the blacklist.
Very nice.. you need a converter for KML to this JSON format. :) Or at least a nice XSLT. Granted.. it looks like it would only work for point data at this time.
How hard would it be to give the various JSON elements a clickable link. Is that supported well in WebGL?
FIX - for "graphics card does not support webgl" - go to about:flags, look for "GPU accelerated compositing", enable it, hit relaunch button at bottom of screen.
I am just getting the spinning circle for ever. Tried on every browser I have and even tweaked the settings on Chrome as suggested. I sure wish I could see something.
Not particularly useful. The search density merely highlights where the major population centres are, given the internet and google are ubiquitous. Now if the google searches were normalised against the population density, that might tell you something.
But then what does the 3D representation add anyway?
If you want a proof on how our world is divided between the have and have not just take a look at Africa. I give you a hint they don't use Bing either!
Trying to run this code hosted on Windows 2008 server. The WebGL part does not show. I tried a lot of WebGL stuff and they all worked before, but the Globe just doesn't. Any clue?
Doesn't work for me. Says my browser doesn't support WebGL and that I should use Chrome, etc. But I *AM* using Chrome - version 11.0.696.60.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! When I grow up, I want to be able to do what the google team members can do! :D
ReplyDeleteDoesn't work.

"Sorry, your graphics card doesn't support WebGL" in FF4
Same issue to me

The data format in the JSON example file doesn't match the format desribed in the readme on github.

ReplyDeleteAwesome! Needs zoom!
ReplyDeletequite amazing!
ReplyDeleteMight have to update graphic driver to render webgl. Shame no activity in uk its pretty cool :)
ReplyDeleteWhat Dyea said!!! Thanks, that worked.
ReplyDeleteI take that back... Dyea's suggestion got me one page further, then I dead-ended on the same error message after I hit the "launch experiment" button.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find odd is that the Arcade Fire experiment works fine.

ReplyDeletehas anyone been to the akamai office in cambridge, ma? this reminds me of the globe they have in their control center :-)

doesn't work for me either. am using chrome as well

ReplyDeleteisn't there any workaround without using 3d graphic cards?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't work. Chrome 11.0.696.65 on Windows
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! Who ever put this thing together was a genius!
ReplyDeleteadding extra parameter in startup (--ignore-gpu-blacklist) doesn't seem to work either. actually its not even taking that parameter.
ReplyDeleteNice job, Doug!
ReplyDeleteI am also just getting the spinning circle for ever.
ReplyDeleteNo error message.
Tried dozens of times.
Using Chome 12.0.742.60 beta-m
Very nice. I now use it to plot the last x-number of visitors...
ReplyDeletehttp://0bar.nl/globe/visitors.html
I now use Analytics to create a json data file to show the last x-number of visitors.
ReplyDeleteHere is how I did it: http://0bar.nl/en/tech/show-visitors-on-webgl-globe-with-the-usage-of-analytics

This looks like a colorful, high-res version of what I demoed at the MIT Media Lab back in April:

ReplyDeleteThank you
sorry does not work.Message telling me my Browser does not support web GL.
ReplyDeleteIt works in Firefox.ALL my drivers are up to date and I´m using Chrome 13
Does anyone have any documentation for recording in JSON format?
ReplyDeleteWorks like a charm in Chrome 12
ReplyDeletehi Doug how many people participate in this experiment? and i if we can known, how long were you working in it?
