If you open up this example, you will see how much detail you can get with real-time 3D graphics in Cinder. Find the Earthquake directory in the samples folder, open xcode/Earthquake.xcodeproj (vc10Earthquake.sln, if you are using Windows). Build and run the application.

What you should see is a 3D model of the earth and red cones with numbers on them. You can rotate it by moving your mouse and zooming in and out by using your mousewheel.

Real-time interactive 3D application, isn't it awesome?
