 NASA World Wind
Java provides next-generation 3-D virtual globe technology for
applications written in the Java programming language. It supplies a
suite of open-source components that developers include in their own
applications, providing virtual globe functionality to any application
that can benefit from it. World Wind Java's components perform as well
as, or better than, any other known implementation and utilize the
OpenGL API for 3-D graphics via JOGL. See WWJ Technical Lead Tom
Gaskins' JavaOne
2007 presentation on World Wind Java and the DiSTI Corporation's
F-16 flight simulator
built using World Wind Java.

 Field is an
open-source development environment for digital art and experimental
code writing. Built around the needs of programmers that manipulate
images, make animations and compose music, Field seeks to tie
text-based programming with ad hoc visual metaphors. Field uses Python
and other programming languages and wants to be integrated into your
own personal code-base. And it comes with special support for the Processing environment. Field uses
JOGL for its UI and its built-in drawing system; it provides a
JOGL-based scene-graph library for 3D visualization.

 OneStone®
Pebbles are a new series of calculus visualization tools developed
by Bright Ideas
Software®. Designed from the ground up with input from
education professionals, these unique tools meld current educational
theory with state of the art graphics technology in consistent,
easy-to-use packages. Each 'Pebble' in the series is a stand-alone
program designed to illustrate a specific topic in the calculus
syllabus. While the topic of each Pebble is different, the experience
of using each remains as constant as possible, and features several
elements identified as contributing to the development of a deeper
understanding of dynamic covariant relationships. The Pebbles use JOGL
for their interactive 3D rendering. Try the Curve
Families and Surfaces
of Revolution examples!

 ZG3D is an open source project that uses
JOGL for visualizing 3D geometries with the emphasis of plotting
scientific data in a web application. Geometry objects in an XML file
or string can be dynamically loaded and removed. An HTML document may
call ZG3D functions through JavaScript and may define JavaScript
functions to receive messages from ZG3D, which makes it very easy and
flexible to embed interactive 3D web visualization. The software is
developed at the Center for Global
Environmental Research, Japan, for the advanced data visualization
of the Global
Greenhouse Gases Database.

 The Elflight Engine is a high
performance 3D streaming game engine. It has been designed from the
ground up for use over the World Wide Web. The streaming aspect of the
engine allows a near "instant play" experience for the gamer. No
massive downloads and no massive updates! The technology is
particularly well suited to the development of MMOs and virtual
worlds. The Elflight Engine uses JOGL to access the OpenGL API.

 The Fusion Framework enables Swing
components to be extended with 3D content via JOGL. In general the 3D
content will show up in layers on top of the corresponding Swing
component. Many utility functions are integrated to help the developer
build components. For example, the 3D content may be calibrated to the
corresponding component's bounds. In addition, the system provides a
simple scenegraph, Swing-like mouse interaction, and low-level
animation support, as well as GLSL shaders and .obj file loading. The
demo page contains several Java Web Start applications which
demonstrate the abilities of the framework; please fill out the web
form to help evaluate the components' usefulness.
