Globe4D- the four dimensional interactive globe

Here is an example of how traditional geospatial products like the globe are changing due to advancements in geospatial technologies and a growing public interest.

Globe4D is an interactive globe that allows users to view data-sets as they change over time - time being the 4th dimension. It's an interesting concept and gives us all something to think about and look forward to. How useful would it be to add custom data-sets and view those data-sets over time (forwards and backwards) in a "hands-on" interactive environment? Be sure and watch the product videos at the companies website.
