Google Earth
Google Earth was a revolution by itself. It added a new dimension to Google, which has just added another feather to its legacy. Now, even Google Earth has gone beyond its height as sound is added, which can guide a user where he should head towards. As promised, a layer for Google Earth has been released by Wild Sanctuary. They collected more than 30 sounds from all over the world and added these sounds to the software.
When a user zoom into an area, he will hear a sound which is tagged with that area. A user can hear the sounds of the savannah in Kenya, a sudden rain in the forest, an inexplicable spring chorus of peepers and loons or the bells of Notre dame de Paris. A very favorite picture of mine is a sound clip from Hawaii - an auditory journey, starting at a beach along the Maui coast, and descended below the surface into the depths of the sea before materializing to the shore. The sea throbs are with natural sounds as well.
The level can be depicted in the huge map section of Google Maps, where the sounds are played using an implanted audio player. A lot of people are benefited by this recently developed technology and they are really amazed with the performance boost and effectiveness of Google Earth with sound.
