Virtual Globes Studienbericht online

Eine Zusammenfassung des Schlussberichts des EuroSDR Projekts "Virtual Globes" ist in GIM International publiziert worden.

Abstract:
Virtual Globes (VGs) such as Google Earth or Microsoft Bing Maps 3D have in their few years' existence received enormous attention from both mass media and the geospatial community itself. VGs have raised public awareness of geospatial data and applications like no other technology before them.

The authors look at this within the framework of a EuroSDR project.
