The RayGun client runs on laptops, hand-helds, cell phones and embedded systems. RayGun is supported by the GeoFeeder® server which supports Web3D and Open Geospatial Consortium ISO open standards as well as Google Earth. RayGun is currently in private beta for interested developers and customers. Planet 9 CEO, David Colleen, will be speaking about RayGun at Where 2.0 on Tuesday, May 29th at 1:30 PM in San Jose, California. "3D city simulation used to be limited to high-end flight simulators", David Colleen notes. "These days, Google Earth and Second Life have generated considerable consumer interest and appetite for desk-top applications that use 3D interfaces depicting real world places."

Planet 9 Studios is focused on providing the highest quality urban simulation data and visualization tools on the market with over 45 "off the shelf" virtual city models and a robust viewing / tools environment called eScene™.
