This is an amazing piece of technology, presented at a TED conference. I really can’t explain it better than the video below. Enjoy !

It’s got a “Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Earth” feel to it.

Indeed it was amazing, squeezing the real globe into a globe on your desktop, hope it will lead to that. But who is going to benefit, the pros and the masters, sitting in hi-tech environment and leading the world to don’t know where. I only wish that tech is not hi-jacked for military purposes only. let the world come together with this. All stars to the innovator.

I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100% regarding o.us poetry, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong

This is an impressive demo, but I have to question one thing: The guy giving the demo claims that the only limitation should be the pixels displayed on the screen. I don’t quite buy this, and wonder if there are some “smoke and mirrors” here. Namely, I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire set of images was stored in RAM, as opposed to disc. They could easily be running off of 1 terabyte of RAM (he mentions hundreds of gigabytes of data, but I think you could easily fit this in RAM on a high-end server).
If the image is in RAM, then by definition, any part of it can be accessed in the same amount of time. If, on the other hand it’s on disc, then depending on what part of the image is being requested, access times will vary since the drive head is required to physically move, especially under a large multi-user workload.
That said, there is much work on solid-state storage devices that are random access, so these may come to the rescue.
If anyone knows the answer to this question, I’d love to hear it.

I’m wondering about how this will effect photographers and the whole copyright thing. That guys says himself that they just grabbed a bunch of photos from Flickr. It’s a worrying prospect, but very cool technology, yes.

@xrayspecs : I’m guessing it’s no copyright problem since the photos aren’t used in a commercial project. Those photos were used as a demonstration, and I’m guessing that all were marked as “public”, so …
