User interaction and extraction of data location and information from KML/COLLADA content in Virtual Globe visualizations is demonstrated using a light client for Google Earth. The WxAzygyTM Transparent Interface for Google Earth enhances utilization of massive datasets available from public and private sources in the KML/COLLADA (KMZ) formats and supports conversion of common formats such as netCDF into KML/COLLADA for Virtual Globe visualizations. Features of the WxAzygyTM Transparent Interface include coupling to external applications for creation and display of derived content, and the ability to �point and click� to examine and manipulate COLLADA models within the Virtual Globe environment. The WxAzygyTM Transparent Interface is demonstrated on Windows and the Mac OS.
