Gestural navigation in Google Earth
Proceedings of the 23rd Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference, 2011Geographical Information Systems (GISs) are playing an increasingly important role in society. Not only have the capabilities of GIS packages expanded, but their spectrum has been widened by the popularisation of software such as Google Earth, which has added an extra dimension to navigation, while still using the same interaction method. We argue that

ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Talks, 2017
One of the great promises of virtual reality is that it can allow people to visit places in the world that they might otherwise be unable to. Since the recent renaissance of virtual reality, content creators have exercised various techniques such as 360-degree cameras and photogrammetry to make this promise come true.At Google, we spent more than 10 ...

Google Earth has made a wealth of aerial imagery available online at no cost to users. We examine some of the potential uses of that data in illustrating basic physics and astronomy, such as finding the local magnetic declination, using landmarks such as the Washington Monument and Luxor Obelisk as gnomons, and showing how airport runways get their ...

Review: Google Earth and Google Earth Voyager
Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, 2019Google Earth and Google Earth Voyager https://earth.google.com/web In its corporate mission statement, Google promises to “organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.”1 But what does it mean for information about architecture and history to be useful? There can be little doubt that students of both architecture and

Sketch-based annotations in Google Earth
SIGGRAPH '09: Posters, 2009Painting in a 3D geobrowser is interesting both for artistic uses such as virtual graffiti and for commercial applications such as architectural sketches. It seems straightforward to turn Google Earth into a 3D painting tool: Store the 3D mouse data that the software returns and construct polylines from them.

EVISUGE: Event Visualization on Google Earth
2011 Sixth International Workshop on Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization, 2011In this paper we present EVISUGE, a system that allows the visualization and management of real-world scenarios on Google Earth. An EVISUGE scenario is composed of events, which are represented according to the MOME (Mobile Multimedia Event Capturing and Visualization) event representation model that we have developed.

ACM SIGGRAPH 2014 Talks, 2014
JavaScript is not typically associated with high performance rendering. This talk covers techniques that were used to bring the massive data set of Google Earth into a web browser using standard JavaScript and WebGL. The client has access to a 3d model of the entire world, an ever-growing data set stored in servers, and the client needs to fetch and ...

Realistic representation of clouds in Google Earth
SIGGRAPH Asia 2015 Visualization in High Performance Computing, 2015We have developed a very simple method to represent cloud realistically with the aid of Google Earth. Two physical quantities computed in the atmospheric simulation model are utilized for the method. Figure 1 shows the display results of applying the proposed method.
