Google never cease to amaze me. Yesterday they unveiled they plan a broadband network for the US that is 10 times faster than what we will have in Australia with the new/improved NBN... and that they want to buy/resell power.
Now they have unveiled one of the greatest toys ever – a virtual glass elevator that lets you fly around the world, just like the one in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Made by a few of the engineers in their spare time, the Liquid Galaxy project is an interactive booth with wraparound LCD screens. The screens show synchronised views from Google Earth and you can use a six-axis mouse to move your way through air and water. Very Cool.
