Since its inception, WorldWind has been widely adopted into U.S. Government operations.
WorldWind first began as an SDK began with DOE in 2006 - group responsible for security around nuclear facilities
FAA - Building their next gen air traffic management. Modeling air traffic scenarios
- It is also used extensively by the DoD
- Commercial - DoD contractors supporting other agencies and operations.
- Army - Upgrading moving map on Android devices deployed in personnel carriers.
- Air Force - Traffic control
- MDA - Visualizing missile defense operations.

Rapidly maturing library for creating geo-browser web applications and for embedding a 3D globe in HTML5 web pages
Runs in any browser supporting HTML5 and WebGL
WorldWind’s high level architecture is a set of four interfaces that the application most often interacts with:
WorldWindow, the visual component an application may integrate wherever and however it chooses
Globe, a representation of the ellipsoid and its associated elevations
Layers, which define the imagery, features, and controls that appear in the scene
Navigator, the application’s control over the virtual camera and built-in navigation scheme
WorldWind translates all of this information into OpenGL commands that display the scene using the host machine’s built-in graphics hardware.
WorldWind’s interfaces are designed to work in a manner that’s easy to use and familiar to application developers. There’s no limit to when and how an application may interact with the WorldWind scene or modify its contents. Globes, Layers, Navigators, terrain, and shapes are all designed to be modified at runtime whenever the application chooses.
Each WorldWind component is designed to be replaceable or extensible. For example, applications may define a custom Globe, compose their own Layers, or implement a custom shape (either by compositing existing WorldWind shapes or by writing custom OpenGL code).
WorldWind’s high-level interfaces define its most basic features. In addition to displaying a virtual globe, the entire WorldWind scene is designed to be interactive. Applications can pick elements in the scene such as shapes and terrain, supporting endless interactive possibilities.
WorldWind supports a variety of common exchange formats which enable data sharing, and easily display features on the Globe.
API is geographically focused and easy to use.

In addition to displaying a 3D virtual globe, WorldWind is capable of displaying a 2D map. Applications flip a switch to go between 3D and 2D mode. WorldWind supports a variety of 2D map projections, and is extensible enough that applications may implement their own map projections.

Placemarks indicate a point of interest on the map. Placemarks are a flexible component, enabling control over the placemark image, its size, offset, orientation, and label.
Path’s are WorldWind’s classic polyline shape.
Polygons may be opaque or semi-transparent, 3D or draped over the terrain, and flat or extruded.
Measurement tools and upcoming shape editors provide applications with a set of built-in tools for interacting with map features.

WorldWind is designed to deploy in your environment. Public internet sites, closed networks, even a single devices are all supported deployment scenarios.
