Virtually Hawaii contains a large collection of satellite, aircraft, and ground images of Hawaii. We show near real-time GOES weather satellite images of the entire state, tutorials on the analysis of remote sensing data, interactive Quick TimeVR panoramas from several islands, and games. One of the most popular features is our "What’s New on the Volcano?" section, that is focused on the activity at Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island.

Our primary target audiences are tourists who are planning to visit Hawaii and the interested layperson that wants to know more about the islands and remote sensing. Other site visitors include K-12 students writing papers, undergraduates using our data for research projects, and local industries and state offices that draw on our wall-to-wall satellite coverage of the Islands provided by our "Image Navigator" function to study numerous areas and features. Special sections, such as our "Virtual Field Trips," allow visitors to travel around many different places in Hawaii. Quizzes are provided for several sites to challenge the visitor. There is even a "Guest Book" where anybody can leave comments about the presentation!
