geoGreeting – Messages Created From Aerial Building Views
14/06/2009
Your greeted with the cryptic message, “The surface of the earth holds a message for you. You just need to look a little closer.” Very Matrix like, but true with this very clever visualization. As the Jesse Vig the developer stated, “While working on a different Google Maps project, I noticed that a number of buildings looked like letters of the alphabet when viewed from above. This is the point where I should have just said ‘hmmm, good observation’ and gone on with my life. But I didn’t and that’s why this website is here.”
This reminds me of the flickr groups that take photos of things that look like letters in order to construct words. However, this is a wonderful interactive version of that idea. I found the site well done and easy to use the first time. Great job Jesse!
