Shanghai World Expo in May this year, the Taipei Museum officially opened its doors, to marketing the Taipei Museum, the Taipei City Government organized a number of activities. I have read news reports, some people deform the “Love” four letters as a “taipei” in Chinese characters, which has led to the creation of my desire for it in Google Earth up marketing in Taipei!
Hengchun Ancient City had been constructed in since 1875. During one hundred and thirty years, it experienced several historical tests, such as typhoons, wars, earthquakes, metropolis plan, artificial destruction and improper maintenance etc. At present, due to its original construction and the better scale of Ancient City, Hengchun Ancient City is designated by Ministry of The Interior as the second-class National Heritage Site.
The founder of Google Earth Blog - Frank Taylor was scheduled to start his round- the-world tour for global sailing tour on 13/Nov/2009 with the location in the Caribbean at the moment. It deeply inspire me by looking at his project of ‘The Tahina Expedition‘ website which for this worldwide tour’s purpose. It indeed touches my heart to see his dream coming true step-by-step.

Miramar is a leading shopping centre located in northern Taipei City. It is particularly noted for its very popular Ferris Wheel (48 cabins), which is just like the London Eye. Three years ago, barnabu’s successful work on the new Ferris Wheel inspired me to concentrate on a similar project. This allowed me to focus on the KML language and, one month later, to produce a 4D miramar Ferris Wheel. Since then, I have had a fair amount of confidence to use Google Earth, including the 4D MaoKong Cable Car and the Muzha-route Metro in Taipei.

As my former work “PhotoOverlay Slideshow”, I also demonstrate this work by “street view”. This August, Google announced Taipei City street view. However, so far, there is no Google Earth API for street view. If I cut them one by one manually, I will need 50 sets for 500 meter way. I’d rather use my previous work “NTU Campus Azalea Festival Google Earth Street View Tour” Google Earth KML, also named “Home-made Street View” by GEB administrator Frank Taylor.
The Aerial photographs I process with photoOverlay are thousand. I am looking forward to a slideshow tool to play my photoOverlay works. Yes, Google Earth provides a plug-in to view PhotoOverlay on browsers. By the plug-in, I released works like “Flyover Sun Moon Lake“. Recently, I occasionally find that Google provides “Entering a Photo Overlay” in low-key, which is exactly what I want. This “NASA Top 10 Photos in Google Earth” kml is a trial work.
I design a player for slideshow. You can Play(loop), next, prev, first, pause. I also BMG it. This is a prototype design. If possible, I will compose a gadget for everyone.
