Uses this VRML file:

Some say Java is slow,
but this is faster than
real-time rendering ( 1 year == 100 Sec. ) ;^)

EventScope is a three-dimensional game-like
computer interface that allows students to
virtually explore remote places like Mars
and other planets.
Students assume the roles of space scientists in
the exploration of these locations from their
own classrooms.

EventScope ... is ... a teaching tool that
lets student actively explore three dimensinal
representations of NASA mission data. ...
According to the National Research Council,
"An important use of technology is its capacity
to create new opportunities for curriculum and
instruction by bringing real-world problems into
the classroom for students to explore and solve."

First Person Shooter
Tank Game written in Java.
Move around a simple city terrain
avoiding sudden death from enemy tanks.
Combating the notion that Java is slow,
this tank game shows Java is fast enough
and the human player is often too slow

The
Render Real Terrains & Maps with DEM Elevations, portably.
Render Terrains from Real World Data Sets on the web or off.
Freely available source code gives 3d real-time rendering
of real world terrains with Java, Java3d, or C.
NASA and leading research facilities including the
San Diego Super Computer Center use Java and Java3d
for portabability across the web and across platforms
for flextible, extensible, reliable, economical solutions.
Java3d gives high speed, high quality 3d rendering
in a browser or as a stand alone application for portability
across Windows, Linux, Solaris and other Unix platforms.
VRML worlds including those with terrain ElevationGrids
can be loaded and rendered with the Sun VRML Loaders,
on the web & off, from local files & from web locations.
Free, Portable DEM Viewer ( Source Code Available, Java3d )
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
| DEMViewer is a digital elevation model viewer
| for ArcGrid ASCII export files. With DEMViewer
| you can visualize digital elevation models
| generated by ArcInfo and combine it with data
| (in the same ArcGrid ASCII export format and/or
| Jpeg/Gif images). ..
|
| DEMViewer was developed at the Department of
| Geoinformatics, Geohydrology and Modelling
| of the Institute of Geography of the University
| of Jena, Germany.
|
| DEMViewer is written in Java and uses VisAD and Java3D.
|
| DEMViewer is freely available and is under the

DEM 3d Terrain Viewers have been written in Java3d
and you get them for free, source code and all
( see above & below ).
Java and Java3d are emerging increasing as the preferred
solution for rendering 3d on the web and for applicatons
where portability and the speed and ease of developement
are priority issues.
Java3d can render VRML with the Sun VRML Loaders and
can render DEM Terrain data sets, and other data sets
without the limitations and problems of the old style
VRML plug-ins ( browser incompatabilities, lack of
support on Linux and other popular platforms popular
with developers, limitations of networking and file access,
security problems, difficult interfacing issues, non-standard,
proprietary or incomplete implemenations ).
These resources include 3d terrains, 2d maps, & planets.
If there is a lot here, it's because a lot of people are
doing a lot of different things with Java.
