Microsoft’s World Wide Telescope
OK, I am a geek and I admit it - I love technology! Every so often something really catches my eye and sparks my interest. This is one of those times...
Microsoft’s World Wide Telescope http://scobleizer.com/2008/02/27/wha...ide-telescope/ Take Google Maps or Microsoft Live Maps, add a bunch of steroids and interfaces, then flip it around to point toward the heavens. Rob Scoble explains it much better than I. All those tax-payer dollars you paid for the Hubble telescope - have you really seen a return on that investment? I am thinking I need to hook my laptop up to the 61" DLP to fully enjoy this in an immersive environment. We are tuly living in exciting times! |
