Reality3D

EarthWatch Communications, innovators of 3-Dimensional weather graphics, recently launched the first real-time 3D weather graphics systems, Reality3D. Using the full potential of the Silicon graphics High IMPACT workstation, Reality3D is the fastest and most powerful weather graphics system available. With EarthWatch Reality3D, real-time cloud and radar data is generated onto a highly realistic, texture-mapped virtual globe. Reality3D can be used live on the air to transition seamlessly from a global view down to street level through a dynamic, real-time 3D weather environment. Now, viewers may experience an up-to-the-second 3D weather simulation that is played back without rendering. Other new products include: MetWatch, a sophisticated internet browser which automatically downloads key meteorological data and Forecast 2000, a meteorological tool which displays predicted weather for the next 24 to 48 hours.
