  1. Comment - Microsoft Launches Virtual Earth 3D

    (Nov 7, 2006 - 7:30 PM)

    OMG - Well, I guess the 'big boys' had to do it sooner or later. It isnt a new concept...

    Way back in 1999 I developed a similar map utilising 'inline VRML' technology and mapped the city of Sydney Australia in 'photorealistic virtual reality' using photo-triangulation methods coupled with CAD software.

    Unfortunately I couldnt sell the concept to anyone and abandoned the project for lack of funds after many hundreds of hours work.

    Its nice to see that the concept is 'out there' now, although the advertising is a bit 'in your face'.

    If anyone still has a vrml plugin or cosmo browser installed, you can see my original 1999 concept test at : www.virtualmapping.com/sydvrml/

    - i've just re-uploaded it for old times sake :)

    Can I have a job please Microsoft?
