Inspiration
COVID-19 is something that has affected all of us, each in varying amounts. Even with a vaccine being developed the threat of COVID-19 still looms large over many countries. A large contributor to the spread of the disease is underestimation of risk. We created an interactive 3D visualization of the spread of COVID-19 across the world to provide a strong visual source of how serious the impact of COVID-19 is.
What it does
Displays the geographical history of COVID-19 on an interactive globe from your web browser. Automatically shows the hotspots in COVID-19 activity around the world over time. Also provides data about the number of vaccinations handed out per country.
