While researching interactive websites I found https://www.jasondavies.com/. Jason Davies as self described on the site is a “ freelance software engineer looking for challenging data visualisation projects”. He makes a lot of different types of maps and graphs. Most of them are quite mathematically or scientifically complex, I don’t know what most of them mean but they are visually stunning. https://www.jasondavies.com/maps/voronoi/airports/ is the map that I originally found. The airports map is very unique, he uses a voronoi diagram on his globe which is a mathematical map I had never heard of before. The map is interactive and very mentally stimulating. Each black dot represents one of the world’s airports, if you put your mouse over the dot you can see what airport it is. The map because of the voronoi design can sometimes be hard to make out close up. The map can move like Google Earth, around and in and out. This map represents a really cool interactive design on the web.
