Visualizing global networks with Java 3D

Posted on by

I have had this idea of visualizing global networks and connections with 3d globe for a long time but haven’t had time to try it out. Now that I’ve been exploring possibilities of Java 3D I was able to implement this feature quite easily.

The current API looks like this:

Globe globe = new Globe(this);
globe.addConnection("Finland", "Germany");
globe.addConnection("Finland", "Italy");
globe.addConnection("Finland", "Egypt");
globe.addConnection("Finland", "United States");
globe.addConnection("Finland", "Japan");
globe.addConnection("Finland", "China");
globe.addConnection("Finland", "South Africa");
spinGroup.addChild(globe.getGroup());

And here is the result.

    I know that this is an old post for you but i was just wondering if you could give instructions on how you created this in Java 3d? I have been trying to have a network globe such as this one for the past couple of months with germany as the center. You will have to excuse me for my english i know that it is not that good but if you could help out with this i would be forever greatful to you.

    Isso é maneiro (legal, cooll), porem rodar 3d em java é osso, ruim, muito pesado.
