Description

We are using CesiumJS (https://cesium.com/cesiumjs) for 3D visualization and we wonder whether it might be possible to use supercluster for clustering of points in 3D space (x, y, z coordinates or lat, long, elevation). Would it be possible to modify supercluster to support this? Please advice.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. First review supercluster's current coordinate and clustering assumptions and compare them with CesiumJS 3D coordinates. Done requires a clear feasibility decision and defined scope for supporting x, y, z or latitude, longitude, elevation clustering.
