Presenting the planet-earth project

planet-earth is a way into the GeoWeb - a new, enriched Web experience where space and time become meaningful again, through an immersive 3D model of the planet.

If you've ever wanted to:

• find out more about your local area, or someone else's
• know the opening hours of the closest bookshop in a new city
• read reviews of every cafe in a three-block radius from your location
• explore the history and culture of any place on earth
• see what new developments & infrastructure are planned for your city
• find local providers of a product or service
• tell the world about your own local area, or your own products and services

Then you need planet-earth.

3map - the Free Geospace Engine

The planet-earth project is powered by 3map, a Free Software project being built with the support of the Telstra Broadband Fund that provides the client and server capabilities to deliver the Web Augmented Virtual Earth.

3map's rich media experience requires a computer with a 3D acceleration card and a broadband internet connection.

3map can be deployed on Linux or other Unix servers, and will provide your organisation the capability to publish to the GeoWeb. 3map is based on international standards from the OpenGIS and Web3D consortia. All of our code is open source; there is no licence fee. Contact Ping for more information, and for integration services and support.
