That's really cool! I did something similar for my thesis. We used flight information from http://planefinder.net/ http://planefinder.net/ as our data set. Unfortunately no WebGL, but you can see an impression in this Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvrdxLymMv0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvrdxLymMv0 More info here: http://www.cs.rug.nl/svcg/SoftVis/FlightVis http://www.cs.rug.nl/svcg/SoftVis/FlightVis

Very nice Tim - I love the way you smear out the data. I found plotting the data over Europe and the US to be a difficult visualization problem - there is just so much data in a small space. Perhaps changing the size of each point depending on your distance would work?

  Yeah, especially Europe is really hard. We haven't found a solution yet for visualizing detailed information above very dense and scarce areas at the same time. Showing the data above a single country in Europe works a lot better (for example: http://www.cs.rug.nl/svcg/uploads/SoftVis/trails_length_1.png http://www.cs.rug.nl/svcg/uploads/SoftVis/trails_length_1.pn... and http://www.cs.rug.nl/svcg/uploads/SoftVis/trails_length_4.png http://www.cs.rug.nl/svcg/uploads/SoftVis/trails_length_4.pn... ). We use an option to reduce the point size based on the zoom-level. If someone is interested, here are 2 more videos of our visualization * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYfBvQGKE9Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYfBvQGKE9Y (short pulse-trails with background context, colored by altitude, above France) * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oqxIhO69tU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oqxIhO69tU (medium pulse-trails, no background trails, colored by direction).
