About this technology

Overview

WorldWind is a free, open source software development kit (SDK) for assisting developers in the creation of geographical information systems (GISs). Aside from educational examples and tutorials, the WorldWind SDK does not provide finished applications. The WorldWind SDK is used by software engineers to build their own applications. Common use cases for the WorldWind SDK are monitoring weather patterns, visualizing cities and terrain, tracking ground vehicles, analyzing geospatial data, flight tracking, satellite tracking and geographical education. WorldWind provides a powerful platform for giving any application the means to express, manipulate, and analyze spatial data.
