Google Earth is cool right? Well, yeah, but there are certain things they could do to make it just that little bit cooler. Such as adding live video to the images, making the Earth appear a bit more populated.
This new development comes from the clever folk at the Georgia Institute of Technology, who are presenting results of a recent project - "Augmenting Aerial Earth Maps with Dynamic Information".
That does admittedly make it sound quite dull but it's a really quite exciting development for the likes of Google Maps. Using crowd-sourced video footage, the team has managed to create a "dynamic alive city" with cars, clouds, football players and even people moving around in their virtual little world.
Check out the video below.
