		<description>So, google is adding new street level views, 3D buildings, realtime weather maps to Google Earth, streamed? Hmmm interesting. So in a while we&#039;ll have websites linking to GA, streaming real data, which GA brokers at a small fee. Subscriptions to all kinds of geographical representations, first 2D, then  gradually moving to 3D, right? 

Color maps exactly *where* real world money is. Where cars are. Where cars *should* be. Where cars with hungry drivers best drive if the vote is for Italian food? Where cops are, in case you are a street level drug dealer? 

Through google? Anonimized? Through private servers using google data in imaginative paid-subscription or coded layers? Private P2P servers in sinister countries engaging in human trafficking? How would a pedophyle ring benefit from this level of detailed geographic interfacing? Inquiring minds want to know...

So... When this will balloon into a virtual reality, especially after Google buys Linden Labs, dissects the LL code, upgrades it with a casual chuckle, in a week,, and then proceeds to use the IP infrastructure, programming language, avatar shapes of Second Life. ... Adds a whole bunch of decent animations, some gameplay, a good deal better interface, a programming structure that allows players to export existing lands and make em float somewhere in the pacific (only a lot bigger and more primmaceous than the current LL scaling disaster) and strings it together into something a lot more smooth, playable, lag free and realistic..?

... *as well as* adding an almost endless amount of virtual real estate? 

3DS derived Buildings being added at a geometric rate ? I mean, google absorbs Second Life, for a good price, and then has a few million dedicated and motivated users who&#039;ll sacrifice newlyweds to the old ones to be able to keep player their cherished avatars, including all of millions of unique items of IP content (xstreetsl.com/).... IN ONE GO??? Hmmm???

Simple clients running on a proprietary engine, while clients can buy specialize add-on engines (a crysis-derived one?) to allow more *intense* interaction? 3DS pre-rendered models in those engines instead of crummy sculpty based stuff? Good lighting, shading, atmospherics, weather, wind effect, object shatter, physics?

Then, the same for Google Mars Maps? ... and a mars-derived transhuman MMORPG scaled to a true-size mars map, based on the mars trilogy of Robinson? 

Same for the Moon? Same for a celestia-derived solar system, with realistic newtonian physics and realistic ion-drive/solar sail homesteading to existing asteroids? 

... several adjecent dimensions, so you can have MMO&#039;s with different themes using real world data, in ways depending on cinematic style? 

Trickling down into wearable based AR/ER/VR games?
