This video might take a little while to load (and there's no sound) but it is pretty cool-it showcases the new birds-eye navigation in Microsoft's Virtual Earth. Never seen Virtual Earth? It's Microsoft's alternative to Google Earth and is embed right in your web browser rather than a separate application. This video demonstrates VE's technology whereby they actually drape mosaic'd photographs of actual buildings over 3-d models of the urban landscape. This technology was developed by Boulder, CO based Vexcel Corporation, a leader in the remote sensing business.
