This document discusses OpenWebGlobe 2, a new version of an open source project for visualizing 3D city models on the web. Some key points:
- It allows visualization of 3D models as both interactive 3D globes and as 2D map tiles for minimal bandwidth usage.
- The data processing is primarily done using Python code, with rendering done using a new Ray Tracing library called pyRT.
- It features an improved architecture with support for various scales from individual buildings to entire planets.
- Docker is used for development and deployment of the processing tools and sample web services.
