Drag to spin.","description":"A UV sphere as meridians and parallels, projected with a 1/z divide. Near edges are brighter than the far side, so the globe reads in depth without hidden-line removal. The equator and prime meridian are a touch hotter. It is the generic spinning wire globe of vector displays and early workstation demos, not a specific program. Drag to orbit. It keeps a slow auto-spin until you take over.","apis":["Canvas 2D","Pointer Events","requestAnimationFrame","matchMedia"],"tags":["wireframe","3d"],"hasGlsl":false,"interaction":"Drag on the preview to spin the globe.
