ArcGIS Earth, a 3D application for viewing, editing and sharing GIS data. Supports WMS, KML, Shapefile, and other GIS file formats. Bing Maps, 3D interface runs inside Internet Explorer and Firefox, and uses NASA Blue Marble: Next Generation. Bhuvan is an India-specific virtual globe. Earth3D, a
3D projections use the primary qualities of an object's basic shape to create a map of points, that are then connected to one another to create a visual element. The result is a graphic that contains conceptual properties to interpret the figure or image as not actually flat (2D), but rather, as a solid object (3D) being viewed on a 2D display.
The rhumb-line construction scheme and geographic lines in the Cantino planisphere. Adapted from Gaspar (2012), Plate 3.
