Cool Add-Ons (Free) for NASA's World Wind App

Resources, Reports, Tools, Lists, and Full Text
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

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
