«EARTH»

«EARTH,» a unique geo-spatial visualization system, culls real-time data from the Internet and accurately positions it onto a three-dimensional model of the Earth. The «EARTH» project has numerous levels of viewer/collector participation. Viewers are able to travel from layer to layer by zooming in and retrieving imagery and data for specific regions. Networked «EARTH» represents all the online viewers by positioning satellites, and indicates a ‹best guess› as to where that viewer is in reality, located on the planet.
