Biosphere3D targets interactive landscape rendering based on a virtual globe. It supports DEM, satellite and aerial images, 3D models (Collada), 3D plant models, and Shapefiles. Biosphere3D was initially developed by the landscape visualization group of the Zuse Institute Berlin by Malte Clasen and is now developed further by Lenné3D GmbH. For more information about the used concepts have a look at the thesis of Malte Clasen: Towards Interactive Landscape Visualization Doctoral Thesis published 2011 via Technische Universität Berlin https://doi.org/10.14279/depositonce-3005

WorldWind Java is an open-source virtual globe SDK developed by NASA that allows developers to embed a 3D Earth visualization into Java applications. It renders detailed global terrain and satellite imagery, and supports real-time geographic data overlays, making it ideal for applications in geospatial analysis, education, simulation, and scientific visualization. With its flexible API and plugin system, WorldWind Java is a powerful platform for building interactive geospatial applications that need accurate globe rendering and data integration.

Nebula is a open source distributed Docker orchestrator designed for massive scales (tens of thousands of servers/worker devices), unlike Mesos/Swarm/Kubernetes it has the ability to have workers distributed on high latency connections (such as the internet) yet have the pods(containers) be managed centrally with changes taking affect (almost) immediately, this makes Nebula ideal for managing a vast cluster of servers\devices across the globe, some example use cases are appliances\virtual appliances located at clients data centers, edge computing, and POS systems. Ever wandered how your going to push an update to that smart fridge your company is working on as it's thousands of devices around the globe? wish you could have the assurance that your service will always use the latest code\envvars\etc in all of it's edge locations? ...

...With a single API call you can deploy a new container version to managed devices around the globe in minutes.

GeoJModelBuilder couples geosprocessing Web services, NASA World Wind and Sensor Web services to support geoprocessing modeling and environmental monitoring.The main goal of GeoJModelBuilder is to bring an easy-to-use tool to the geoscientific community. The tool can allow users to drag and drop various geospatial services to visually generate workflows and interact with the workflows in a virtual globe environment. It also allows users to audit trails of workflow executions, check the provenance of data products, and support scientific reproducibility. The programming language used for the development is Java due to its platform-independent feature. The tool can be operated on any operating systems such as Windows or Unix/Linux that supports Java.

...It can evaluate the quality of geoprocessing services with users’ feedback and other quality factors including availability and reliability. QoS for each geoprocessing services can be visualized in a Virtual Globe environment to facilitate service selection. Users can set QoS constraints for processing nodes in geoprocessing workflows, and then optimize workflows with constraints satisfaction. The tool has been implemented as an extension to an existing geoprocessing modeling tool—GeoJModelBuilder.

XNavigator is the online viewer for the OpenStreetMap Globe at http://osm-3d.org and much more. It is an interactive 3D viewer and integrated client for exploring virtual city and landscape models. A wide range of interaction and navigation possibilities makes it easy to visualize and analyze very detailed virtual urban environments. XNavigator is the first application that supports the Web3DService (W3DS) service interface.

JetClass, Java net-class application, allows virtual lectures to be held by teachers and students located in front of their computers, somewhere around the globe. It's written in Pure Java, relying on CORBA for network communications.
