WorldWide Telescope

Posted by Mick (SplaTT) Stanic under: Microsoft .

WOW…check out this post from Robert Scoble about his experience when he got to see the WorldWide Telescope project from Microsoft Research.

From the FAQ page:

“The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a rich visualization environment that functions as a virtual telescope, bringing together imagery from the best ground- and space telescopes to enable seamless, guided explorations of the universe. WorldWide Telescope, created with Microsoft®’s high-performance Visual Experience Engine™, enables seamless panning and zooming across the night sky blending terabytes of images, data, and stories from multiple sources over the Internet into a media-rich, immersive experience.”

The WWTelescope website says its coming in Spring of 2008…nice :)
