Last year at the TED Talks conference, Jeff Han demonstrated a multi-touch computing interface. “Wow!” I thought – as did others such as Tom Barrett, who was invited to give his educational views on a similar product.

I reckon the Google HQ is populated with geographers. Think about it: there’s Google Earth, Google Maps and now Google Street View. This allows users to ‘step into’ places and view them in 360-degree panoramas. Geography teachers should have a field day with this!
At present, Google Street View is only available in Denver, Las Vegas, Miami, New York City, and the San Francisco Bay Area. More info and images at Google Operating System.
