The Earth is Square shortly explain a plugin which allows NASA World Wind to display animated 3D objects. You'll find the demo here [loads a 8MB avi file]. From the blog: "This is a start and still needs to be fine tuned, but just imagine tracking 3D model versions of planes and ships in real time within World Wind."
