ArcGlobe enables continuous three-dimensional (3D) visualization of spatial data ranging from global to local scale. ArcGlobe can efficiently display terabytes of high-resolution images and sophisticated 3D objects with photorealistic texture. This capability has drawn significant interest from many users and developers who want to extend the functionality of ArcGlobe to apply in their application domain.

You can connect to a live feed source of data and draw this data on the globe. This data can be virtually anything spatially enabled (starting from airplanes and other vehicles, and ending at birds and whales). These graphical objects are points, lines, polygons, text, images, and 3D models. Since ArcGlobe is an OpenGL-based application, the OpenGL application programming interface (API) is key to this functionality.
