Midnight Mars Browser

[marscat]

Hi all,

New to the forum, so forgive me if I make any newbie mistakes. I write an open source application called Midnight Mars Browser that downloads NASA Mars Rover images and displays them in panoramas. The 2.0 version I'm working on uses the Eclipse Rich Client Platform and LWJGL. Thanks for making LWJGL;  it's the only thing I've found that does what I need it to do.

If you're interested in the program, the blog is here: http://midnightmarsbrowser.blogspot.com
and some screenshots are here: http://flickr.com/photos/marscat/sets/72157594445332991/
and the 2.0 version (in progress) is here: http://web.mac.com/michaelhoward/iWeb/MMB2.0/

Thanks,
Mike (marscat)

Wow that looks like a neat app. I'm downloading it right now!
Are the red and blue dots the path taken by the rover?

Are the red and blue dots the path taken by the rover?

Yes; the blue indicates the path the rover took after the view position, and the red indicates the path before (think blueshift and redshift). This is a feature I've been able to add since switching away from Java3D, since OpenGL allows more control over the rendering.
