Cool Add-Ons (Free) for NASA’s World Wind App
World Wind is a free, open source, 3D interactive geographic application (maps and imagery of Earth) that we’ve linked to on the blog several times and Gary also posted about on the SEW Blog a year ago. The first version of the app launched in mid-2004. The program was first developed by NASA’s Learning Technologies. World Wind has its own wiki, WorldWindCentral, loaded with tons of info (knowledge base), cool places found using the imagery, user tips, and more. A user forum is also available. World Wind Moon now offers 3-D interactive imagery of the Moon.

It’s also worth knowing that many add-ons for WorldWind are available. This page has a good overview of how they work. A list is available here and even more comprehensive list here. Add-ons include:

+ Access to MSN’s Virtual Earth (Live Local) imagery
+ Access to Great Lakes Data
+ Access to Imagery of Venus
+ NASCAR Tracks
+ National Parks
+ Near Real Time Satellite Tracker
