Ultra High-Definition photo-overlays of Tuvalu on Google Earth

I uploaded a capture movie of Ultra High-Definition photo-overlays of Tuvalu on Google Earth. It is a content of Tuvalu Visualization Project. It was presented in 4K digital cinema festival of Digital Contents Expo 2009.

All photographs: (c) Shuuichi Endou / Tuvalu Overview

It is a sample of photo-overlays on google earth with beautiful photographs by Shuuichi Endou. I remember that super-high resolution (Ultra High Definition) photo overlay had been presented in the lecture of Mr. Michael T. Jones who is the Google Earth developer.
