Oh interesting, can you tell me what browser environment you're on?

I'm getting the same error on Firefox.

I can't find the easter egg. Clues appreciated. :)

Look around closely at the top level of the tower :)

It's really cool, but I can't shake off an "uncanny valley" feeling, with all of the small quirks in the geometry. What I think I'd be interested in is a post-processing step where this splat is automatically converted to a 3d model that approximates each component, only falling back to the point cloud if there's no simple shape that fits the observation at a particular location.

If you haven't seen Tunnel Vision (same author) please do yourself a favor and watch it. Dude does some fantastic projects.
