As I explained last week, I attended the 2008 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Conference in Pittsburgh. One of the booth I visited often was the exhibit of Dassault Systemes, the great French software company (creator of Catia, Delmia, and owner of Solid Works, among others). They had there a "virtual run around the city of Pittsburgh" simulation. By taking your picture on the spot and feeding it to a computer, you would be running (virtually) in the streets of beautiful Pittsburgh! I enjoyed this very much.
Now, Dassault Systemes invites everybody to participate in the "longest virtual run in the World" by posting two pictures in this web site: http://share-vplusr.3ds.com/en/your-turn/
Here, after, posting your pictures you can select any place in the world to start your run (Egypt, London, Paris, the Gobi desert, the Canadian Rockies, you name it!). After this you can keep track of your running around the World.
Try it. It is really fun and very instructive. The places where you run are incredibly well depicted.
Just go for it!
