  1. my bad on NASA BlueMarble: Next Generation · · Score: 1

    Sorry I missed these earlier --

    - A WorldWind BMNG app can be found here

    - A GoogleEarth app can be found here.

    Thanks to WorldWindCentral -- good job, neat stuff.

  2. Blue Marble in 3D on NASA BlueMarble: Next Generation · · Score: 1
    Rather than downloading the complete Blue Marble Next Generation dataset, you have several options for simply viewing it in 3D online.

    At EarthSLOT you can:
    - see all 12 months in a 3D viewer similar to GoogleEarth and WorldWind (neither of which have new BMs online yet)
    - use html code snippets to embed a 3D viewer into your own web page
    - download a complete 3D application of all 12 scenes for use on your computer w/o being online (currently slashdotted)
    - use a slightly buggy pure HTML viewer to get 3D perspective of the data using mac/linux/etc
    - use the API to code your own applications with the data
    - see dozens of 3D applications unrelated to blue marbles at much higher resolution (15 meter typ.)

    At GeoFusion you can:
    - See all 12 monthly scenes in 3D at the same time and blend between them
    - see katrina damage in a new way
    - blend between cloud free earth during the day and night

    As far as I know, these are the only two interactive 3D applications currently serving the new Blue Marble data. If you know of others, let me know.
