polytech-tree
Interactive 3D map of the human tech tree, from the first stone tools to 2024: technologies stacked as a tower of eras in three.js, with prerequisite and relation edges, hover cards and a guided camera tour. All data lives in plain JSON, so adding a technology, era or domain is one pull request away.
