Google earth now in stereo

In a similar way to how we got Second Life working in stereoscopic 3D, Google earth is now working on the system and looking amazing. So imagine the scene, a group of pupils controlling a flight simulator from the Grand Canyon to the Lake district, comparing rock formations or creating models in sketch-up to visualise how their new school might look. There is so much that can be done with Google earth and now the 3D system gives even more clarity of understanding of the 3D nature of the globe, mountains, valleys, and other geographical features along with all the available models present in the world.
