Controlling Google Earth and Warcraft 3 on a table top? The VerySpatial blog resumes it like this: "A Phd student at the University of Calgary’s Interactions Laboratory has come up with some pretty cool new interactive tools for Google Earth and Warcraft III. He’s using a tabletop environment to control how you interact with Google Earth. You can do much more hands on type interaction with the table setup. I think it’s a more natural environment, or much more paper map-like, than some of the mouse/keyboard setups we currently use. It’s worth checking out the videos [Google Video mirror]. They give a good idea of the types of things you can do with this new type of system. I particularly like the Warcraft III “Command and Control” system demo."
