Where Do You Use World Wind? Radar Monitoring

Written by Chad on February 14th, 2007

I may make this a regular feature if I can get enough respondants.. but I thought I would spotline some of the forum users and how they are using World Wind (if they can share the information that is ;) )

I’ll start this one off with the forum member James_In_Utah. He is using World Wind to visualy display to indicate radar coverage at different altitudes.

We indicate the status of the site by color. The status of these sites can change minute by minute, so it would be great if the color displayed for a particular ESRI shape could be changed without having to reload the whole set.

In addition to displaying coverages, we are able to plot radar data in WW using a pluggin which pulls the information out of our recordings using a C++ dll. We can also display aircraft live using the KML output of a tracking algorythm we developed in-house. With a “run of the mill” laptop I can track and display the data from maybe 10 radar sites.

There is alsoa plug-in that pulls detailed information about the radar sites from our Oracle database and display the sites as Icons. When the user mouses over the site icon, he gets the detailed info in the lower left corner.
