theodp writes "In an eye-candy filled presentation that earned him a standing-O at TED2010, Blaise Aguera y Arcas demos augmented-reality mapping technology from Microsoft. In his eight minute spiel, an extension of a shorter tech preview video, the Bing Maps architect shows how geo-tagged Flickr images can be precisely incorporated into streetside views, demonstrates indoor panoramas at Pike Place Market complete with live video overlays, and even takes the audience into space with Microsoft's Worldwide Telescope. " This is a really exciting video and worth your 8 minutes.

Innovation on Bing by sopssa · 2010-02-14 02:07 · Score: 0, Redundant

The movement in maps, different images and day/night time cycle with star maps when you're looking up looks great. In every aspect it seems Bing is really innovating and beating Google all the time. It's no surprise they're worried about Bing now.
