SCEC Virtual Display of Objects (SCEC VDO)
Researchers and interns at the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) have built a seismic data visualization software tool called the SCEC Virtual Display of Objects (SCEC-VDO). Written in Java with the Swing GUI toolkit to create interactive menus and the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) to render 3D content, SCEC-VDO allows for the visualization of 3D earthquake and fault objects on maps and the creation of images and movies for analysis, presentation, and publication.

Troubleshooting
v24.10.0 macOS
As of SCEC-VDO v24.10.0, the macOS application is bundled as a zip file instead of an app file. macOS GateKeeper refuses to execute applications bundled this way by default, regardless of codesigning. We'll consider bundling a proper macOS app instead of a zip file as a permanent solution.
Unauthorized applications cannot be directly executed in the Terminal or opened by double-clicking without making a GateKeeper exception. This is a very simple, one time process that should not take longer than a minute.
To create a security exception, you need to enable Developer Tools and allow the Terminal permission to bypass the system security policy.
Enable Developer Tools by running spctl developer-mode enable-terminal and quitting the Terminal.
Then navigate to Developer Tools inside System Settings, enable the Terminal to bypass security, and try running the SCEC-VDO application.
I've created video demonstrations showing exactly how to do this.

v24.10.0 Linux
For our Linux users, the launch_linux.sh script installs the dependency freeglut3-dev
using the Aptitude package manager. For users of non-Debian based distributions, you must
install an equivalent with your package manager or compile from source.
