About

What is WebWorldWind?

WebWorldWind is an Open Source JavaScript SDK developed by NASA, with contributions from the European Space Agency, designed for creating geo-browser web applications. It allows developers to embed a 3D globe directly into HTML5 web pages, providing a geographic context with terrain and various shapes for displaying and interacting with geo-located information in both 3D and 2D. The SDK automatically retrieves high-resolution terrain and imagery from remote servers as needed, while also supporting custom terrain, imagery, 3D shapes, and position markings. Key features include improvements to COLLADA 3D model support, the ability to obtain click locations in 3D models, and enhanced Well-Known Text format support. It is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Best used for

Ideal for developers who need to integrate interactive 3D globes into their web applications, visualize geospatial data, and create custom geo-browser experiences. Especially valuable for projects requiring detailed terrain, imagery, and 3D model support within an HTML5 environment.
