I am looking for an example that renders an interactive earth similar to the one in the Smule products.

Related non ES: #9511999 || #17488759 The name of this operation appears to be "UV mapping": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping – Raymundorayna 12/4, 2016 at 13:45

Someone just pointed me to this question. I have one!

It's called WhirlyGlobe and it's built specifically for this purpose. Runs on ios, uses a combo of Objective-C and C++ and is very Cocoa Touch friendly. Uses delegates for camera motion, multithreaded, all that good stuff.

Oh, and it's freely available under the Apache2 license.

Details can be found here: http://mousebird.github.io/WhirlyGlobe/

If you prefixed http://, it would make that URL clickable like this: mousebirdconsulting.com/whirlyglobe :p – Tacita 14/11, 2011 at 10:54

the link is dead :( For anyone who is looking for it: github.com/mousebird/WhirlyGlobe – Pfosi 18/2, 2015 at 21:43

The link's fine. Must have been temporary. – Laylalayman 28/5, 2015 at 21:49

I can't offer any samples, but Dragon Forged Software sells a prepackaged OpenGL ES Globe for the iPhone. http://dragonforged.com/consult.shtml
