Multiple Parallel Virtual Globes are a Good Thing?
[+]
Vector One offers an interesting entry on the benefits of having multiple parallel virtual globes. From the entry: "Are We Destined to Have Parallel Digital Earth’s?
The alternative to parallel digital worlds is one digital world - no thanks. I don’t want Google, Microsoft, WorldWind, TITAN or any other single world becoming the dominate, stand alone, source for digital spatial content. In fact, I think each of these do their best work and will reach their highest potential through competition and interaction. [...] The primary difference between digital worlds and all other mediums for communication will simply be that they are digital and characterized by what one can do with digital data." From my point of view, interoperability is the key component for the users. Update: 09/28 15:29 GMT by S : Spatial Sustain's Matt Ball also shares his thoughts on the subject: "There’s currently ample opportunity for niche players in this space, but the gap between the leaders and others is rapidly expanding to the point that it will be a chasm where vast amounts of investment will be required to catch up."
