  • Zoom in and out with your mouse wheel or the plus/minus buttons.
  • Click on a country to see detailed internet usage statistics in the sidebar.
  • Hover over markers for quick tooltips.
  • Use the sidebar to explore global and continental statistics.

Continental Breakdown

The boxes below show the average internet usage rate for each continent. Each value is the mean percentage of the population using the internet in each country within that continent.

Data Sources & Methodology

Data Sources

This visualization uses internet usage data from the World Bank's "Individuals using the Internet (% of population)" dataset. The data represents the percentage of individuals in each country who have used the internet from any location in the last three months.

Methodology

The visualization processes and displays the most recent available data for each country. Countries are grouped by continent, with each continent assigned a distinct color for easy identification. The size of each data point represents the percentage of internet users in that country.

Technical Implementation

The 3D globe is built using Three.js, a powerful JavaScript library for creating 3D graphics in the browser. The visualization includes custom shaders, dynamic lighting, and interactive controls for an immersive user experience.
