WorldWide Telescope Upgrade!

Filed under: Astroinformatics,Microsoft — Patrick Durusau @ 4:56 pm

A notice about the latest version was forwarded to me and it read in part:

WorldWide Telescope is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a new release that has a completely re-written rendering engine that supports DirectX11 and runs in 64bit to give you the a wealth of new features including cinematic quality rendering and new timeline tours that allow channel by channel key frames for precise control, loads of new overlays and much more.

We also have a completely new website for this release with a responsive design for our modern mix of devices. Please use it and give use feedback. We will be adding lots of new content, including many new web interactive pages using our HTML5 control so that people with any device can enjoy our data even without the full Windows Client.

All of which sounds great and kudos to Microsoft.

Unfortunately I can’t view the upgraded site because I am running (on a VM) a version of Windows prior to Windows 7 and Windows 8. My, where does the time go. 😉

I have plenty of room for another VM so I guess it is time to spin another one up.

If you are already on Windows 7 or 8, check out the new site. If not, look for the legacy version until you can upgrade!
