I’d like to see Google satellite maps feed into a Google photo-realistic flight simulator, where the 3-D computation is done on centralized high end supercomputers with only the final video frames downloaded. Home computers typically only need supercomputer class computation for short periods, the rest of the time spent web surfing. It doesn’t make sense to buy an expensive high-end home computer that will be second rate in a year.
Kewl. I like that thought. I cannot believe we don't already have this. I'd LOVE to fly over real satellite maps done 3D
