Google Earth is soo 1995
posted by hukl on January 13th, 2006

I had a lot of fun last night at the CCCB. We talked till early morning about all kinds of stuff. Pavel also showed me the video of art+com’s project called Terravision. It is pretty much like Google Earth except it was done in 1995 and had a way cooler interface. art+com now released the original video from 1995 and i decided to send it out via bittorrent with their permission so everybody can get a picture of that project. They spent millions of dollars for this project, nowadays this kind of application runs on nearly every computer and you can get it for free from google.

Have fun watching, it is really amazing to see!

    Terravision: Ein Vorläufer von Google Earth

    Auch Google Earth ist schon mal dagewesen: John Bader erinnert in seinem Blog an Terravision, ein Projekt der Berliner Software-Firma Art+Com, das Mitte der Neunziger vorgestellt wurde. Terravision war allerdings alles andere als eine Desktop-Applik…
