Google recently released an improved 3D CAD software. Is there anything these guys can't do? It's free for playing around, and you can upgrade to a professional version or share your designs with the world.
When I think about all the hours wasted in video games, Sim City and Sim Tower ate up as much of my time as Zelda. They felt like living games and I was the emperor. Well, Google wants you to play Sim Campus, a promo to build buzz and trial of SketchUp, and build up their 3D database. Very smart.
About Me
- Shauner
- Shaun spent 4 years in advertising and sales promotions, employed as a strategic planner and cultural anthropologist for clients such as Coors Brewing, Quiznos Subs, Miller Brewing, Bacardi-Martini, Motorola, and many more. In 2005, he left advertising to join the family business - a mid-sized microelectronics manufacturing firm. He is also active in several non-profits serving at-risk inner-city youth. When not at work, Shaun reminisces fondly about his 6 years of international DJ experience, 3 years of international surfing instructor experience, 4 years as an account planner, and his 120+ job interviews in the advertising industry. He has been recognized as a valuable change-agent and a rebellious advertising professional. He works well on new business strategy teams and intimate brainstorms. He has made as many friends as enemies due to his tendency towards deconstruction and creativity. He’s been sighted pushing boundaries that most people don’t think need to be pushed.

I checked out that program a while back. It's pretty cool for a novice tool to play around with. I think their contest is pretty neat too. There really isn't anything they can't do. I bet they'll get to Mars before the government does.
Smart way to build a virtual world that actually mirrors the real world which can turn into a tool people can use. It reminds me of how the dictionary was born—it's too big of a job for one person or even a small group of "professionals"—and since the end use is for the mass public, why not have the mass public produce it? it's a celebration of the democracy of the internet. Can't wait to see those virtual campuses popping up.
