Holy cow. Did you use a charting framework for the stream feed? How did you get such a pretty globe?

All hand built, including the globe. I split that out into it's own library over at https://github.com/arscan/encom-globe * edit: I did leverage quite a few great libraries, namely three.js... just none that are charting specific

Are there any efforts to make movie-type window styles for real use? The Tron:Legacy style would be a fun one to have, as well as the one used in the computers in Westworld (similar light-blue-on-black)[1] and Interstellar [2]. I'm sure it's a more difficult process than I'm imagining, but it would be really cool to be able to use the window and interface themes of the computers in your favorite show or movie, especially since some have such great designs.

Glad to see some people are getting a kick out of this. I built it a few years back while learning webgl, css3, node.js, redis, and modern (at the time) js tooling. Source over at https://github.com/arscan/encom-boardroom I didn't build this with any real practical application in mind at the time. But some people have reused components in their own projects over the years, particularly the globe ( https://github.com/…

Not going to hesitate to toot your horn here, man. This is extremely well done! It's all great!

That globe as an interface itself is worth congratulations and should be an envy.

I'll have to look more into your work.

The main problem with this kind of UI is information overload (which is the desired effect in movies, since the viewer isn't actually supposed to "use" nor understand all of the info displayed). There's no way to make this usable unless you lower the amount of info displayed, but then it will loose its "cool" factor.

I used the gnome theme for the movie Live Free or Die Hard on linux back in 2008 or so

for reference this is what it looked like in the movie:
