Blizzard Ops Center Visitor Experience

---

About the project

The Ops Center is Blizzard's command center for live ops. I created this touchscreen web application for Blizzard events and tours to explain how the Ops Center team works and how they find and address live issues. The project's centerpiece is a 3D globe, an idea I came up with and prototyped during a company hackathon. The globe displays live Ops Center telemetry stats, including the geographic locations of players logging in to Blizzard games around the world.
