success 3931 Worldwind 2007-01-05T02:34:49Z 2009-11-24T14:42:33Z World Wind, an open source 3D interactive world viewer, was created by NASA's Learning Technologies project, and released in mid-2004. It is now developed by NASA staff and open source community developers. At its simplest you can think of World Wind as a desk globe, however World Wind is not a simple desk globe. World Wind allows any user to zoom from outer space into any place on Earth. World Wind uses satellite imagery and elevation data to allow users to experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if they were really there. World Wind can also be expanded to include additional imagery and data.. There have already been a number of add-ons created, from Norway's Prehistoric Hillforts to additional planets. http://www.worldwindcentral.com http://www.worldwindcentral.com/wiki/NASA_World_Wind_Download http://bits.ohloh.net/attachments/5544/worldwind_med.gif http://bits.ohloh.net/attachments/5544/worldwind_small.gif 16 4.4 5 770311 770311 3931 2009-11-27T15:23:15Z 2009-11-27T15:10:30Z 2004-08-01T00:00:00Z 2009-09-01T00:00:00Z 2 501011 17 C# nasa_open NASA Open Source Agreement 1.3
