Tour Authoring in the webclient

What’s New in the American Astronomical Society WorldWide Telescope (September 2016)

Most of the work under the AAS has been to migrate the advanced visualization functionality and tour authoring capability of the Windows Desktop Client to the Web Client, powered by WebGL.  This new web architecture uses the native graphics horsepower of your PC to produce sophisticated visualizations, all within a web browser independent of the operating system or browser. Tours authored in the web can be played back on the Windows Desktop Client on dome or other advanced visualization system as well as shared easily on-line.  You can try it out for yourself.  Just open the link:http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/webclient/ and make your own tour!
