World Wind Java Suspension
1.4.0 prelease to 1.4.0 final patch (1.5MB) If you have 1.4.0 prerelease (released on February 7) installed on your computer you can update to the final version with this patch: World Wind Central (HTTP).
I have to apologize for all the broken links in my WWJ related post lately.I failed to renew the domain name under which i was hosting most of my NASA World Wind related work and some domain name squatter took it over. Long story short, i transferred everything to my other domain name but had to edit a lot of links and references.Most of everything is certainly dated or integrated into the SDK though. But i hope some things may still be interesting or useful to someone, so there it is, back online.;-). From the WWJ SDK Developement team:'On Tuesday July 19th, 2011 we are releasing World Wind 1.2. Please join us that day for the webinar, where we'll describe the release contents and the new resources available to help and guide World Wind developers. We'll also discuss World Wind's near-term road map.
There are sessions for American and European time zones, There are only 100 spaces available per session, so sign up soon, but please don't sign up if you are unlikely to attend.Register for a session now by clicking a date below:Once registered you will receive an email confirming your registration with information you need to join the Webinar.' Following up on a to display atmospheric data, i quickly put together a simple renderable that will draw an image on a plane perpendicular to the globe surface.Download - remove the.txt extension and save in the SDK render package.Nothing fancy, really, a texture rendered over a quad - it will not 'curve' around the globe on long distances. The quad is defined with two LatLon locations, a bottom and a top altitude. It is also an example of a simple renderable using OGL primitives that may serve as a base template for more sophisticated objects.
Lens flare and atmospheric scatteringThe demo application code will show you how to use the different components. Although this initial version works rather well, you may notice a couple issues. Dark or bright bands may show across the terrain in some places.
The atmospheric scattering code is not optimal. It fails to produce a blue sky at ground level and the sky underlying geometry is too coarse to produce nice and smooth sunsets. The sun calculator reported position does not seem right either. Rubber sheet imagesAt a lot of work has been done on data import and image processing. There is code to import, manipulate, tile, stitch and transform imagery. You will find surface textures you can stretch and warp with the examples.RubberSheetImage application.The icon layer and renderer can now use absolute elevations and will perform horizon and view frustum clipping if set to do so. This should help handle larger icon populations.Work has been done to allow several elevation models and data sources to be compounded.
Length and area measure toolsInteractive length and area measure tools have been added - see examples.MeasureToolUsage and util.measure package.Tiled image layers can now use mipmaps and produce a cleaner terrain rendering without 'shimmering' in the distance. Image blending has been fixed and should allow proper application of semi opaque layers without the 'black edges' we have seen before. However this change had the fog produce 'white edges' so it has been dropped for now - the fog layer.The applet package has been updated to take advantage of the latest Sun Next Generation Java plugin - more stable and flexible.
Multimedia annotationsA new examples.util package contains a couple useful tools like a browser launcher, an image viewer, an audio player or a slide viewer.The view sensitivity can now be set. The TerrainProfileLayer can now follow a path.
Track markers have been reworked and have now extended and more flexible capabilities. The FlatWorld example has been updated with code to switch from round to flat globe.
The place name layer has been enhanced. Web Service Catalog support has been implemented - see applications.gio. There is code to convert WW.net cache.Many bugs have been fixed, often in response to comments from the World Wind Java Forum users. Thank you all.More screenshots dating back to October 2008 can be found.For all migration related issues, questions and comments, please use this.

Washington DC, Wikipedia point layer - icons link to Wikipedia articlesWorldWind is an (released under the license and the Apache 2.0 license). It was first developed by in 2003 for use on and then further developed in concert with the since 2004. As of 2017, a web based version of WorldWind is available online. An version is also available.The original version relied on, which ran only on.
The more recent version, WorldWind Java, is cross platform, a (SDK) aimed at and, unlike the old.NET version, not a standalone in the style of. The SDK includes a suite of basic demos, available at goworldwind.org. The WorldWind Java version was awarded NASA Software of the Year in November 2009. The program overlays NASA and, (KML) and files.On May 3, 2019, WorldWind will be suspended and all servers will be unavailable after that date. The SDK will still be available on, but without any technical support. Community based mitigation efforts for dealing with the shutdown are available at.
Contents.Overview Though widely available since 2003, WorldWind was released with the NASA Open Source Agreement license in 2004. The latest Java-based version (2.1.0), was released in December 2016. As of 2015 a web based version of WorldWind is under development and available online. An version is also available.The previous.NET-based version was an application with an extensive suite of plugins. Apart from the Earth there are several worlds:, (with the four of, and ) and (imagery of stars and galaxies).Users could interact with the selected planet by rotating it, tilting the view, and zooming in and out. Five million place names, political boundaries, latitude/longitude lines, and other data can be displayed. WorldWind.NET provided the ability to browse maps and data on the internet using the 's servers (version 1.4 also uses for downloading place names), import and files.
This is an example of how WorldWind allows anyone to deliver their data.Other features of WorldWind.NET included support for.X ( 3D polygon mesh) models and advanced visual effects such as atmospheric or.The resolution inside the US is high enough to clearly discern individual buildings, houses, cars (USGS Digital Ortho layer) and even the shadows of people (metropolitan areas in USGS Urban Ortho layer). The resolution outside the US is at least 15 meters per pixel.has allowed WorldWind to incorporate high resolution data for use.WorldWind uses (DEM) data collected by NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), (NED) and (ASTER). This means one can view topographic features such as the Grand Canyon or Mount Everest in three dimensions. December 24, 2009.
