Music Player

The music player provides ambient background audio while viewing the globe:

• A continuous lofi radio with a rotating selection of tracks
• Play, pause, and skip to the next or previous track
• Tracks shuffle automatically as each one finishes
• The now-playing track name and artist are shown while music is on

Auto-rotate

Click Auto-rotate to start a slow, automatic spin of the globe, which is handy for a hands-free, ambient view. Click it again to stop. The globe keeps pulling in new visitors in real time whether or not auto-rotate is on.

2. Globe expands to fill the entire screen
3. All controls remain accessible
4. Click the minimize icon to exit fullscreen

Activity Feed Panel

The bottom-left of the globe view shows the Activity Feed (on larger screens):

• Lists recent visitors in chronological order
• Shows visitor country, page viewed, and how long ago they arrived
• Click any visitor in the feed to fly the globe to their location
• The feed updates in real-time as new visitors arrive

Stats Overlay

The panel in the top-left displays live statistics:

• Current active visitor count
• Top referrers, countries, and devices

You can click any referrer, country, or device chip to filter the globe view by that value, and click it again to clear the filter.

Navigating to Visitors

Fly-to Animation

Click any visitor in the Activity Feed to smoothly animate the globe to that visitor's location:

1. The globe rotates and zooms to center on the visitor
2. If the visitor has city-level coordinates, it zooms to city level
3. If only country-level data is available, it zooms to the country
4. The visitor's detail card opens automatically
