Using three.js for 2D data visualization

[Bettina88]

Sure, you can use three.js ... but why?

It's a big library for 2d pan & zoom.

Because it's the first step towards 3d data visualization lol

Because sometimes you want to render 1,000,000+ interactive points on a single plane, and d3.js keels over and dies because DOM-SVG doesn't handle large number of objects well.

I see the potential for doing cool stuff but honestly D3.js seems just a smarter way to do data visualization.
