Second Life and David Rumsey

Here's a great use of the rich David Rumsey map collection. In Second Life, someone has drapped scans of some of the older maps over rendered topography for avatar investigations. See a post on it at the Not Possible IRL blog.



You can read some more at Technology Review, but you can also hear a podcast on the use of the Rumsey maps in Second Life.


I know it's not avatars in Google Earth like I've been waiting for, but it's getting closer.

I think we should take some nice pictures of Ely Hall and the museum and put 'em up somewhere.

Not too many out there, that I could find.
