Wow! Thats an very interesting app to me! I didn't heared about it yet.... I tried to investigate it a littlebit, but I found some not so good news by doing this.
1. Its an ActiveX Plugin for Internetexplorer, which almost disqualifies it for me, because I strongly try to avoid M$ in my work... 2. I didn't found a demo to test it. 3. They don't say anything about the actualy used spatial data. That leads me to a conclusion, that they are in a very early stage of development, and didn't made it actualy happen that it works for now. Which indeed would imply that there are better than the MS VE developet team, and that would be a very big news to me also! :D But its very interesting, I will keep my eyes on it. To reply to your question, that every 3d pixel has a coordinate is clear in a 3D model, but that with the http address, are some words from a marketing guy who don't realy know what he talks about I think. :D Or maybe you can refer in some way to a spatial coordinate by an address like this: http://playce.com/somsescript?&xcoord&ycoord&zcoord which leads you to that place within playce... ;) but I don't know... regards Christian Mike Liebhold schrieb: > This is a bit dated ( september?), but interesting: a streaming video > game platform built on a 3D gis of some sort: > > http://www.playce.com/ > > from the PR video > > "It’s a virtual world built on real world imagery and data.
