US search engine giant Google is bringing the world of online video and map-making closer together by letting users of Google Earth software to watch and hear YouTube videos mapped to specific locations and time zones.
Google is offering a new YouTube video overlay on top of its Google Earth three-dimensional visualization software, which combines satellite images, maps, terrain and buildings of the world. By letting in YouTube creators to geographically locate their videos on a map of the world, Google lets Internet users zoom in on locations around the planet and watch YouTube tied to that place.
For example, travelers to Maui might find videos of surfing, snorkeling or exotic fish, while virtual visitors to Chamonix-Mont Blanc can watch mountaintop ski videos in the Alps. Google Earth users can already view user-contributed photos uploaded to Panoramio, a photo-mapping service Google acquired in May.
In the case of YouTube videos, its video creators assign geographical information to their works -- a process also known as "geo-tagging" -- as they upload them to the site. |
