WWJava Browser Applet
Written by Chad on June 25th, 2007Well, been a while since I posted about World Wind Java 
Things have been slow, but that does not mean nothing is happening of course.
pred on the World Wind Forum has been working on getting the WWJava code to work as a browser applet and he has been making some steady progress. He has a link up now where you can try his changes and launch a WWJava Browser Applet session. Warning though, I have a fast connection and a pretty good computer with 4gig of ram .. and the applet still took about 6 minutes to fully load up.
For those that are waiting for it to load, or don;t want to try just now.. some screen shots for your enjoyment.
First two shots are of the Blue Marble with a compass, overview position marker and an GeoRSS Earthquake list shown.
Zooming in on an earthquake, clicking on the icon opens a new browser window with the related page loaded. The imagery also changes from BMNG to the i-Cubed Landsat.
Zooming into North America, zooming into San Francisco loads the USGS Urban imagery.
Viewing the same area in 3D now.
If you are interested in the computer use while I was running the browser applet, here is the average numbers for firefox I was able to capture in a screen shot.
