Gloam — an interactive data visualization
Gloam is an interactive data visualization, that calculates the sunrise, sunset and twilight times based on given latitudes and renders them into a mesmerizing and stunning experience.
In December 2016 I added a rough Leap Motion support. You can adjust the times and latitudes with your hand. Just move around with your hand spread or closed.
