vsgEarth is a prototype of that renders using Vulkan and the (VSG). Instead of than being a complete reimplementation of osgEarth, it uses the map layers of osgEarth as data sources for creating a VSG scene graph.
The vsgEarth library parses osgEarth ".earth" files. It can render multiple image layers and an elevation layer, using a simple lighting model, from the supported osgEarth sources. The canonical ReadyMap example works well.
A sample program, voe_globe, provides a simple-yet-familiar interface.
vsgEarth has been tested on Linux.
These packages come with their own prerequisites, of course, so you will need to install them too.
vsgEarth is Free Open Source Software distributed under the LGPL.
