Do you know any software that will produce rotating charts to truly display 3-D on a 2-dimensional screen? Also, what kind of data - more precisely, what kind of insights (and users) - would benefit most from this technology? Can Tableau, R or other software do it? The rotating Earth below was produced with Matlab.
It would be even better if you can zoom on it, or increase rotation speed, change the rotation axis etc.

Our Datascape application will let you do most of that, although rotation is of the camera rather than the object (but same result). More info at http://www.daden.co.uk/conc/datascape and video demos at https://vimeo.com/channels/394387.
The latest version (15 million+ data points) is in a closed beta at the moment, use the form on the web site if you'd like access.
