Virtual Earth Streetlevel View

By James Fee | Published: February 28, 2006

I’m sure everyone has seen the news about the new Streetlevel view in Virtual Earth (aka Live Local). Channel 9 has a great behind the scenes movie up so it you want to see how they did it, go ahead and view the move. I’m a much better drive in real life than I am on this Streetlevel prototype, that is for sure. Its eye candy, but it does show how it is possible to accomplish more than just top down views. I’m guessing we are only months away from video being used in these types of applications.

    I have a good feeling that you’re going to see RedHen or iMove technology integrated with NavTeq/Tele Atlas in VE very soon. Then in an XBox360 game.

    Microsoft is really struggling to find ways to get some attention away from Google and Yahoo in this whole maps game!
