Rumor mill and thanks
Rumor:
AGI might adopt NASA World Wind as its visualization engine.
Acknowledgements:
Also, referring to my previous entry about conferences, I'd like
to express my appreciation to the people that fed me, housed me,
and invited me to hang out with "the cool kids" over the last week.
These include:
Declan Butler and Nature (for Sci Foo)
Chris DiBona and Google (for Sci Foo)
Tim O'Reilly and O' Reilly Publishing (for Sci Foo)
UCSB Geography and ESRI (for ESRI conference assistance)
Google Earth Team (for the geoblogger round up at the ESRI UC)
GeoMullah (for the geoblogger round up at the ESRI UC)
There were other important organizers of the Sci Foo conference that I did not meet. They worked hard and deserve credit, but I don't know all their names.
[Update: How could I forget one of Sci Foo's main organizers --> Timo Hannay of Nature!]

I work with AGI and I don't understand the rumor. STK's 3D capability is far superior to Google or Microsoft, not to mention many GOTS (Government) tools out there. I think many of these tools have a specific nitch to fill, and most could have used STK in the application with our STK/X technology, but they chose to reinvent the wheel. The difference between all these globes is our analysis capability. This includes our propagators, communications modeling, radar modeling, etc. Only 10% of STK is visualization, but I believe it's the most advanced real time rendering capability for 3D out there. While STK could generate products for Google, Virtual Earth or any other 3D tool, using any other globe would restrict our ability to produce the best product for our customers.
