Are there any videos of the 3D digital globe? @Thomas – thanks, that clears up a lot. Are there any videos of the 3D digital globe?

The Data comes from flightstats.com and is NOT live, but rather from the regular daily departure/arrival times of all civil flight airports in the world. The routes then are being interpolated (shortest route between two points on a sphere). Even though this is not exactly accurate on a small scale, it's fairly accurate on a global scale. Some numbers: Starting from over 9'000 airports there are over 90'000 flights every day, every time there are between 8'000 and 13'000 airplanes simultaneously in the air...Search for air traffic worldwide on vimeo and you'll find a 720p HD-version of this (or even 1080p for downloading)...

As the logos in the video suggest this video is a cooperation between zhaw and flightstats (www.flightstats.com) using flightstats data.
