Today we visited Communitech Institute, Velocity and Google. It was a wonderful experience learning how the technology around us happened and even about how some of the inventors were from Kitchener in that institution who have made big money now!
In Communitech, we interacted in a 3D,virtual film experiement. You put on these glasses that have 6 motion sensor like things on the side that works that monitors to move the scenory and makes everything 3D. When you walk around, everything comes to life and you feel as if you are right there. You have the ability to go through things as you are virtually moving. I personally tried sitting and lying down on the ground to see what effect that would have. The grass and shrubs all came up around me and was like I was actually sitting right there in the field. There was even a soldier that was standing there that when you walked near him it was like he was standing beside you!
The picture below displays the set up the screens and you see some of the students demostrating how it works.

In this photo below, you see what the screen looks like a bit better and how with out the glasses it just looks like a 2D area with a soldier standing there. Until you put the glasses on it will move the
This picture is of a five screen google earth that gives you the feel that you are looking at the earth in a bigger area then what you do on the computer screen. It shows you more of an area than what just one cumputer would.
This picture is one used from the large google earth display on the CN Tower in Toronto. As you can see it gives you a 3D effect and makes it look as if you were looking at it from a birds eye view like you were on a plane or something. It also shows many buildings around as well that are in 3D due to there height.
