Jon Udell’s screencast using Google Maps to give a tour of his neighbourhood created a stir online about the use of this technology when integrated with a handheld GPS. It’s also a nice example of a screencast, the medium that Steve Clift used to provide his virtual tour of GroupServer.
Of course, Google Earth has just lifted the bar a jump. It provides a spinning globe where you can zoom in for a near ground-level virtual tour with links plucked live from Google and other databases providing almost the intimacy of Jon Udell’s commentary.
Great to listen and see Steve’s Screen cast! Have encouraged users in groups I am in to go see it.
