Oh wow, pretty

Do they have a good API for rendering stuff based on latlong / topojson encoding? I feel like Cesium would be a better final product if it did but at the moment we have a lot of low-level control which we might forfeit with Cesium (that is a double edged sword, admittedly)

Has John not spoken to you?

Cesium provides all the infrastructure we require to create a robust project. Working on the code base that began with Tai and that you have been working on is no longer a viable way forward given the Cesium code base.

I am going to work on a Cesium version tonight, and will have something up by the morning.
