Google earth on Acid

Fuzz · 6 Jul 2010 at 20:19

Don't know how I managed to stumble across this website a few months ago but the videos have been enthralling, insightful and thought provoking to say the least. Probably one of the best "informative" websites I've ever come across.

Thought you lot might particularly like this one though.

I thought the AR made it like using Bing Maps - but on acid.

What do I know, I am on acid. Wait, what?

ted.com is great, most of the talks are really good and interesting and at the same time I feel like I'm learning useful stuff (even though I'm not).

Google are having a go at this sort of stuff as well, I noticed it the other day, they seem to have silent added it to Google maps. It's not quite as integrated though and it pulls photos from Picasaweb which isn't the biggest source of data.

Here is an example, you can navigate between 3 of my pictures by dragging them around:
