A small hill on a plain usually becomes a leisure place for surrounding residents. But the terrain on Google Earth does not seem to be significant engough, so I set the elevation exaggeration to 3. And then I use the SpaceNavigator to fly around the island of Taiwan. As a result, I was able to find a total of 16 small hills. By providing one description for each hill, I have connected those placemarks in the flyover video for those hills.If you want to visit those hills in Taiwan, you can download this KML Collection .

I saw a video clip yesterday, which expresses a connection of various ethnic groups. It weaves the story by means of zooming technology: closing up and zooming out. This is a student term task of NTU “An introduction on the relationship of People and environment” in 2006.

Utheatre has established for 20 years. They are going to celebrate their anniversary by taking around Taiwan on foot in 50 days. They took off on 23, March, and plan to complete the trip on 11, May. It goes through 100 towns and about 1200 km. Utheatre takes walk in daytime and play drum in the evening. 30 shows will be presented until 11th, May, the last show in National CKS cultural center. Except the path and show spots in the KML, I also made a dynamic cloud-foot by means of landmarking and time lag.

I have made 3 4D-KML Collections, including 20070703 Maokung Gondola, 20070716 Maokung Itinerant bus, and 20070727 Muzha line MRT. I found there are two concerns: first, if you run three files at the same time, your system will be suffered from a heavy loading. Second, each file has its own timer, resulting in an uncoordinated performance. I keep this in my mind although 8 months passed by. Eventually I take some time and make it up in the recent days. more »
