When we join an online event, it says: “487 people attending.”

But we have no idea where they are from.

So I built something for the Figma Makeathon challenge.

Event Globe 🌍 (https://eventglobe.figma.site)

A live 3D world map where participants pin their name and photo to their country, instantly turning a number into real faces around the world.

From “487 attendees” to:

“Hussein • NL”

“Marta • ES”

“Daniel • BR” Suddenly, it feels global. If you are joining, add your name and see yourself on the globe. 🤩 Would you use this for your event?

I'm also open to feedback. Let me know what you think. 😃

I changed the code so that users can add their names locally. However, the admin can add users universally. I did this because some intruders were generating high traffic on the website and causing overload.
