Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI), producer of commercial off-the-shelf software for space, defense and intelligence applications, recently expanded its product line to include Insight3D, a .NET control that lets developers easily integrate 3-D visualization into their desktop or Web-based applications. Based on AGI's 3-D graphics engine, Insight3D supports terrain, imagery, 3-D models, satellite orbits, object tracks, streaming video and more. Developers can model objects and their motion within a scene and interact with them by object picking and flexible viewpoint controls. The software will be demonstrated in AGI's booth #761 at GEOINT 2009.

"With Insight3D, developers can render objects with smooth motion that accounts for changes over time and view those objects from any angle or position. This greatly enhances understanding and removes the uncertainty inherent with static data," says Todd Smith, AGI product manager for enterprise integration. "Insight3D also excels at adding air and space assets to geographic data--such as depicting sensor coverage and air-to-ground lines-of-sight. GIS professionals have begun to recognize the value of this, and Insight3D makes it easy for them to add to their analyses."
