Score: 4.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 4, Documentation: 5, Utility: 4)

This project is an interactive 3D visualization tool that helps users conceptualize large population numbers by representing them as a grid of stadiums, each holding 100,000 people. It's interesting because it tackles the common cognitive challenge of understanding scale for abstract, massive numbers using an intuitive spatial metaphor rendered in Three.js.

Target audience: educators, data journalists, general public
