Five Guys Build Their Own Virtual Earth
October 28th, 2009
The video above is not Google Earth, or Microsoft Virtual Earth. It is a creation of five guys in Britain led by Michael Fotoohi of Micazook.com. They have an ambitious plan of creating the entire planet in 3D navigable by avatars as seen in the video. They use freely available aerial photography and digital street maps to create their world. They are hoping to make a combination of Google Earth, Second Life, and Wikipedia.
Sounds like a cool project. More info can be found here.
