Built a real-time 3D Cyber Command Center with React and CesiumJS — handling state syncing across dynamic WebGL layers

Hey everyone,

I built an interactive 3D tactical command center using React and CesiumJS to track real-time global telemetry feeds.

Key React implementation details:

• Canvas & WebGL Integration: Synced Cesium's render loop with React state without triggering unnecessary re-renders during high-frequency telemetry updates.

• Custom Hooks: Encapsulated live ADS-B flight feeds, orbital satellite calculations (SGP4), and threat feeds into dedicated streaming hooks.

• Performance: Avoided standard React DOM nodes for map markers; batched updates directly into Cesium primitive collections to maintain a smooth 60 FPS.

• Dynamic Telemetry: Global fiber optic lines, data centers, and live GNSS interference zones rendered dynamically.

Looking for feedback on React state management patterns when handling high-frequency WebGL data streams!
