Globe.GL — 3D Globe Data Visualization Skill

SkillDev tools

Implement Globe.GL for 3D globe data visualization with WebGL/Three.js, setup, data layers (points, arcs, polygons, labels), and integration patterns in plain HTML or React.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Globe.GL skill

When to use

  • Interactive 3D globe with data overlays
  • Visualize geographic data (connections, locations, heatmaps)
  • Impressive hero sections with globe animations

Quick start (ESM)

<script type="module">
  import Globe from 'globe.gl';
  const myGlobe = new Globe(document.getElementById('globe'))
    .globeImageUrl(myImageUrl)
    .pointsData(myData);
</script>

Quick start (CDN)

<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/globe.gl"></script>
<script>
  const myGlobe = new Globe(document.getElementById('globe'))
    .globeImageUrl(myImageUrl)
    .pointsData(myData);
</script>

Common layers

  • Points: Location markers with size/color
  • Arcs: Connections between locations
  • Polygons: Country/region highlights
  • Paths: Route visualizations
  • Heatmaps/Hex bins: Density visualization
  • Labels/HTML: Custom overlays
  • 3D objects: Custom layer objects

Practical tips

  • Size the container with CSS; the globe fills its parent element.
  • Reduce point count or size for mobile performance.
  • Use a darker globe texture for neon-style data overlays.
  • React bindings available via react-globe.gl.

Tips for AI Agents

  • Ask which layers are needed (points, arcs, polygons, labels).
  • Confirm desktop vs mobile sizing requirements.
  • Check if drag/rotate interactions or static globe is preferred.
