"KAGUYA 3D GIS(KAGUYA 3D Moon NAVI)" let you browse the images and data obtained by the Japanese lunar explorer "KAGUYA" with realistic sensation by three dimensional (3D) view function.

You can manipulate the Moon in space at will by mouse operations, and enjoy the various aspects of the Moon like a lunar trip.

This application was developed based on the NASA World Wind (Java ver.) as the 3D viewer for KAGUYA image contents. This application is written in Java programming language, and is able to be run on multi-platform (Windows, MacOS, etc.).
