This is very cool.  I had a look at <URL:http://gaia.serezhkin.com/>,
and it seem to make good progress.  Perhaps this project should
cooperate with the earth3d project, <URL:http://www.earth3d.org/>?  It
already have a lot of the 3D stuff working.

Cc to both the earth3d and gaia project authors, to make sure they are
aware of each other.  There is also the NASA WorldWind project with a
java client available from <URL:http://www.ww2d.org/>.

Friendly,
