NASA WorldWind presents:

End-to-End Infrastructure for 3D Data
• World Wind technology consists of the two essential elements for delivering and experiencing 3D data: the server technology and the client technology.
• These technologies are optimized to accommodate internationally established protocols for exchange of 3D data, referred to as Web Mapping Services (WMS).
• Because World Wind is a NASA Open Source Agreement technology, U.S. government agencies, private enterprise, and the international community have begun to standardize on this NASA technology. This includes the Department of Defense, multiple space agencies, several governments, and a few Fortune 100 companies.
• The advanced functionality of this NASA technology is accelerating development of solutions worldwide that serve both proprietary and non-proprietary interests.
