Dizzy.js: Open-Source 3D Globe Visualization Library

Build interactive 3D globe visualizations with Dizzy.js, an open-source JavaScript library for web applications and sites.

What is Dizzy.js?

Dizzy.js is an open-source JavaScript library for creating interactive 3D globe visualizations and maps. Developed by Gordon Woodhull, it uses WebGL and Three.js to render animated globes and maps that users can spin and zoom with their mouse.

Some key features of Dizzy.js include:

  • Rendering an interactive 3D globe with customizable textures and lighting
  • Overlaying points, paths, polygons, images, and text labels onto the globe surface
  • Displaying map data from GeoJSON, TopoJSON, KML, GPX, and other geographic data formats
  • Animating points by location over time to show movement
  • Control over scene lighting, atmosphere, background colors, and more
  • Camera controls allowing users to spin and zoom the globe with intuitive mouse, touch, and keyboard gestures

Dizzy.js makes it easy for developers to create eye-catching globes and maps for storytelling, visualizing travel, highlighting connections between cities or countries, and more. Its small size, permissive BSD license, and compatibility with modern web standards allow it to be easily integrated into new or existing web applications.
