Editing and Creating buildings in Google Earth 4.3

I tried to edit and create buildings in Google Earth 4.3.



(Because I used slow PC, operation is awkward.)

You can delete buliding freely with right-clicking on 3-d model and select "hide building", and create new object with polygon menu. If you have Sketchup or other 3-d software, you can put more detailed object, too. Oh, it is metaversed!!

Google Earth will be widely used as a very strong, free platform in the field of the visual environment simulation.

Only a geostationary object can be put now. However, various interactions will be added by using the script such as kml and LSL in the near future.

Google Earth 4.3 1st try

I uploaded a movie of playing Google Earth newest version with my mushup contents "Train Mapping" (Japanese Only).



We can come and go very smoothly between "Macro<--->Micro". I had tried the mashup of Google Earth and Second Life (Japanse article) before, But This sense is quite different from it.



The interface that can shuttle freely from "Maximum" to "Minimum", or from "Far point" to "Neer Point" is very comfortable and impressive. This is a reason why people are strongly attracted to the map software such as Google Earth - It is not in present Second Life.

We should make the interface that draws out a body sensation different from the real world more strongly. The interface of Google Earth will become a hint for that.
