How to render an interactive globe/earth for the iPhone OpenGL ES? [closed]

Question

I am looking for an example that renders an interactive earth similar to the one in the Smule products.

Answer 1

Someone just pointed me to this question. I have one!

It's called WhirlyGlobe and it's built specifically for this purpose. Runs on ios, uses a combo of Objective-C and C++ and is very Cocoa Touch friendly. Uses delegates for camera motion, multithreaded, all that good stuff.

Oh, and it's freely available under the Apache2 license.

Details can be found here: http://mousebird.github.io/WhirlyGlobe/

Answer 2

I can't offer any samples, but Dragon Forged Software sells a prepackaged OpenGL ES Globe for the iPhone. http://dragonforged.com/consult.shtml
