Google Earth Exploration

earth
Class: From Physical to Virtual Spaces and Back

Professor: Jean-Marc Gautier

The assignment was to capture your screen while you played with Google Earth or Second Life... I chose Google Earth and explored São Paulo, New York, and Tokyo observing how much information exists and the level of detail inputted into the system by users.

How it was done / more details

I was actually surprised at the amount of information São Paulo has - I was expecting that of NY for obvious reasons - and then was surprised (ok - not so much) at how detailed the 3D buildings in Tokyo are.
At the end I played around with the flight simulator in Google Earth (ctrl+option+a)
