Interactive 3D Mars Visualization

This is an interactive 3D visualization of Mars. This visualization brings together USGS-made terrain from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE camera images and terrains built from Spirit Mars Exploration Rover stereo images. The software is built on the Ardor3D graphics framework and the Eclipse RCP application framework. This work was supported by the NASA ROSES Advanced Information Systems Research program.

hello Dr. Powell, great job.. keep up the good work; it's inspiring to see this kind of presentation that shows how current software applications can utilize NASA's [& related] data to produce animation & interactive sim's that allow people to "join in" on a process that extends exploration to everyone, thanx Rob
