Cuentan el origen de Google Earth (del libro: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Ten-Flipbook-Charles-Eames/dp/0716734419) y cómo se obtienen las imágenes desde distintas fuentes (desde individuos hasta gobiernos) y con distintos métodos (satélite, aviones y globos). Lo intersante es que tiene sus orígenes en la ya mítica Silicon Graphics, que a su vez está relacionada con Netscape. Small World.
We'd begin by heading toward Europe, and then, when Lake Geneva came into view, we'd zero in on the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps. Dipping down lower and lower, we'd eventually arrive at a 3-D model of a Nintendo 64, since SGI designed the graphics chip it uses. Zooming through the Nintendo case, we'd come to rest at the chip with our logo on it. Then we'd zoom a little further and warp back into space until we were looking at the Earth again.

We called this demo "Space-to-Your-Face."
