It’s a pretty simple idea: University College London’s Dr. Andrew Hudson-Smith rigged up the experience using a Kinect and a Google Earth 3D plug-in, and the setup can even incorporate live data feeds—say, traffic or weather—to make the experience more realistic.
Hudson-Smith thinks the simulator could be used for architects and planners to communicate a sense of place, creating real-world flyovers of their designs.
