This Faux 3D Shaded Globe example has a faux 3D spherical globe projected onto 2D space and it allows users to rotate the globe about the origin. The globe has individual countries with labels for cities of significant size. This is a rather interesting example in that the visualization contains path elements and text elements both of which get updated if users rotate the globe. The VisDock toolkit has been integrated into this Faux 3D Shaded Globe example built with D3.js (found here) by Derek Watkins. For more information about VisDock, please cick on the link.
