Abstract: A system and process that incorporates hardware and software as elements to be combined with procedures and processes to obtain, format, store, combine, control, display, record, and visualize dynamic scenarios by interacting with accurate, realistic models and actual events within, on, and above a three-dimensional surface to be observed or modeled. The present invention software and process is capable of displaying extremely high resolution terrain models and imagery in real time over the entire surface of the planet, as well as a large number of moving entities and their associated graphical models. These features, combined with a network application programming interface (API), make the present invention suitable for flight simulation out-the-window displays, command and control scenarios, and mission review or rehearsal.

Abstract: This system and process for providing a rendered image of a virtual 3-D scene comprises an image generating system which stores therein data defining the 3-D scene. Responses to receiving control data such as viewing parameters, editing commands, or instructions to a software application working with the scene data, the visualization systems renders a pixel data image of the scene and transmits the pixel data over a data network, such as the Internet, to a user computer to be viewed on a display device, such as a monitor.
