AB: SERVIR Viz is a customized version of NASA's WorldWind, which is a freely distributed, open-source, web- enabled, 3D earth exploration tool. IAGT developed SERVIR Viz in a joint effort with SERVIR research partners to create a visualization framework for geospatial data resources available to the SERVIR project. SERVIR Viz is customized by providing users with newly developed custom tools, enhancements to existing open source tools and a specialized toolbar that allows shortcut access to existing tools. Another key feature is the ability to visualize remotely-hosted framework GIS data layers, maps, real-time satellite images, and other SERVIR products relevant to the Mesoamerica region using the NASA WorldWind visualization engine and base mapping layers. The main users of SERVIR Viz are the seven countries of Mesoamerica, SERVIR participants, educators, scientists, decision-makers, and the general public. SERVIR Viz enhances the SERVIR project infrastructure by providing access to NASA GEOSS data products and internet served Mesoamerica centric GIS data products within a tool developed specifically to promote use of GIS and visualization technologies in the decision support goals of the SERVIR project. In addition, SERVIZ Viz can be toggled between English and Spanish to support a wide cross section of users and development still continues to support new data and user requirements. This presentation will include a live demonstration of SERVIR Viz.
