San Francisco here we come

How can we possibly turndown an invite from Google! On 19 and 20 May 2010 we will be present on the Google IO developers conference where we will be showing off our new stuff in the Developer Sandbox. Over the next few months we will be releasing little bits of information about our new projects. Of course on the conference all details will be revealed.

One of the projects we work on is called GEVision. In the past various attempts had been made to use Google Earth scenery instead of the one included in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Yet due to limitations in the interface technology this has never been fully achieved. GEVision will enable the use of Google Earth as a full blown 3D scenery engine.

See the attached screenshots that show the difference. The Microsoft Flight simulator screen is captured at the highest possible settings under DirectX 9c.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X versus Google Earth

We are now working to see if we can implement aspects of the Virtual Window ideas as shown in this video Eventually GEVision will be a server / client solution that can connect to a wide range of applications rendering Google Earth views to multiple monitors. GEVision is already working smoothly with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and we hope to be demonstrate it in all it's glory on the Google IO conference.
