The Virtual Planet Explorer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the don't-get-lost-in-there dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "A European Union program has helped several European partners to develop the Virtual Planet (or V-Planet) software, which will enable its users to browse and interact in three dimensions with any part of our planet, according to IST Results. "Using Vplanet Explorer, anyone can set off on a journey to discover new regions in 3D, rather than staring at a flat map and trying to picture its scenery," says Eric Martin, coordinator of the IST project. The software can also be used for technical simulations and has already been used by both Airbus and Boeing. It should be available this summer for about 10,000 euros (about $12K). Besides other details and references, this overview contains several pictures of simulations using V-Planet."

  1. Oh my GOSH! It can even render penises! by CyricZ · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I can't believe this! This software is even capable of rendering lifelike penises, as seen by this image of the Statue of David:

    And the rendering below, from this very software, is of a fully naked man, penis included!
