I can't help but roll my eyes whenever I see more WebGL visualizations from Uber. I had interviewed there maybe a year ago for the visualizations team, but didn't get an offer because I "had too much WebGL experience and not enough d3 experience." I think this is now the second or third webgl based library since released by Uber.
The examples are pretty, but all of them are basically just population density maps[1]. I'm not sure what additional understanding I can take away from the examples.<p>[1] <a href="https://xkcd.com/1138/" rel="nofollow">https://xkcd.com/1138/</a>
Opening this site in Safari froze my entire machine. Granted it's a 5 year old Macbook Air but still this should never happen.<p>Generally it seems to me that whenever something involves WebGL, performance and UX goes out the window.
Looks like you need a top-of-the-line gaming rig to run these..<p>Hardly interesting from a data viz perspective, but I guess good on them for trying to push the tech envelope?
