WorldWide Telescope SDK

 

The WorldWide Telescope Software Development Kit (SDK) enables the customization of data for both the WorldWide Telescope Windows Client and Web Control, and the development of customized interfaces to the Web Control through an API. For example:

  • Create your own Community
  • Integrate WWT into your own web data portal
  • Import your own data (images, sky surveys, tours, community files) into WorldWide Telescope
  • Build mashups with the WorldWide Telescope Web Control
