John E. Bailey has just posted the schedule for the sessions on Virtual Globes at the 2006 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco on 11-15 December, 2006.
[Hint: Click on the title or image of each session component to get a more detailed abstract.]
Lots of good stuff is listed, including a number of fascinating-sounding projects that have yet to be released publicly — they certainly haven’t been blogged here. Google Earth dominates the category, NASA World Wind has a good showing, and EarthSLOT makes an appearance. Conspicuous by its absence are demos of ESRI ArcGIS Explorer. Is it not a virtual globe? Shouldn’t it be ready by December?
If you’re making a presentation and have slides, links, KML or a website you’d like to show off beforehand or to the people who can’t make it (sigh) do send it along to stefan.geens@gmail.com, and I’ll gladly write it up on Ogle Earth.
Thanks Stefan!
Its also worth mentioning that Geofusion is another great Virtual Globe that will be represented by a couple of presentations.
We would have loved ESRI to be involved, but either our overtures weren’t received or were wrongly directed…I’ll take the blame on that one!
Cheers
John
