  • Released Friday, November 12, 1999
View full credits

The Digital Earth Workbench is an interactive application that runs on a SGI Onyx Infinite Reality system and is controlled by an Immersive Workbench, tracked stereo glasses, and a tracked wand. The application allows an unprecedented freedom to roam georeferenced data sets at multiple resolutions and timescales. This animation is one of a series of direct screen captures of the application in operation. The occasional menu appearance denotes direct intervention by the operator to add or delete data or to activate a new control option.

An animated sequence of cloud data from GOES showing Hurricane Dennis off the coast of Florida is added to the globe, with the animation speed and transparency of the data controlled interactively
