Nice, but the rotate controls are a way too sensitive and spin the globe too fast. I recommend you look into arcball rotation [1]. It's perfect for a globe.

edit: Love the animated transition between the plate carrée projection and sphere!

I like the feel of that affordance and will experiment with it. Have to bathe my 5 year old princess now and read stories but I'll get to it later :) Thanks!

Good point - thanks. I get blind to things as I work on them. Astonishing how people find valid issues so quickly when you show it around a bit.

Has the arcball been ported to JS/Three so one might feel handling?
