Discovery now offering video content in Google Earth
Apr 6th, 2006 | By Sue | Category: general, VirtualGlobes, WebMappingDiscovery Communications announced today that they are now offering video content within Google Earth, starting with 10 American National Parks, including Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone. When users zoom in to one of the featured sites, there will be a Discovery Globe icon which, when clicked, will launch a broadband player hosted by Discovery which will feature several short video clips about that destination. The use of embedded multimedia in internet-based mapping applications has been part of our research at WVU for a few years now, and it’s clear that these types of projects are gaining rapidly in popularity.
