Sounds Brings Google Earth to life
[Edit]
[Edit]
A US company who has created software which can layer sound over locations in Google Earth - Wild Sanctuary has over 3,500 hours of soundscapes from all over the world. The firm is said to be “in talks” with Google, although no official agreement has yet been made.
The curator of the collection, Dr Krause, has spent the last 40 years collecting a variety of nature sounds, and now has the largest library of natural sound. The software is to be presented at the Where 2.0 conference in San Jose, California on 29 May, where up to two dozen sounds would be show-cased at first.
Dr Krause would also like sounds of before and after to be added saying:
"People will be able to get a sense of before and after.
"For example, people are talking about how selective logging is an appropriate way of not harming the environment.
"But we have evidence that from the sound perspective, selective logging has a profound effect on the natural world. The pictures of before and after look exactly the same, but the sound is completely different."
