Convergence LA – A WebGL Data Visualisation of Los Angeles

The camera and UX is a bit lacking, but the production values are otherwise incredible. I imagine that's because it's intended as a physical art display. However, ambient audio and post-process effects are spot-on. Amazing stuff.

The project site[0] has photos of the public display.

Not sure what framework this is using. A cursory review of the source suggests it's not Three.js. It appears to be using the SIMD API[1] as well.

The credits list onformative[2], another studio in addition to Narduli that also specializes in physical art displays. The paths to each .js file start with "cables". A quick GitHub search suggests it's custom code from onformative.[3] The GitHub version uses a couple WebGL helper libraries (twgl.js and Google's webgl-utils.js). The production version on the ConvergenceLA site has different file names however, so I suspect it's using an evolved version of "cables", since what's on GitHub is nearly a year old.

It was build in cables (https://cables.gl/) – a visual WebGL / WebVR / Web Audio editor which is currently in private beta. The website was realised by undev (https://undev.studio)

Looks nice, but the UI is pretty buggy

wow awesome!
