Windows 7 Microsoft Surface Globe
Microsoft Surface Globe pretty much puts the whole world in your hands (well, kind of!).
It uses the Virtual Earth 3D engine to display a 3D version of the world. Using multi-touch, you can navigate to different regions, get local information, and “pin” your favorite locations.
You can even “fly” around 3D models of buildings in some cities. The Microsoft Surface Globe was one of the apps Julie Larson-Green demoed at last year’s D: All Things Digital conference.
