This looks very nice, but a 2D visualization might have been more practical. For example, the fact that the dot size represents the total number of dependents is obscured by the fact that the dot sizes are also a function of camera distance.
3D interfaces rarely plan out, wonder if something like a vision pro or quest could make a 3D user interface work better than a 2D counterpart.

There was also a Doom file manager where you'd use BFG to nuke a directory. I only found one for Doom 3 but this also existed with original Doom. Nowadays, BFG is only used to nuke git repos.

I couldn't find any legend or description (mobile).

Distance is seemingly arbitrary, decided by clustering algorithm.
Maybe it's a layout algorithm preference for distancing "complexity" (i.e. groups of many items / connections) for improved readability?
Or that's representing single source-to-core clusters (e.g. many different things depend on a single library, which itself links back to core)?
