			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alerted by <a href="http://www.ogleearth.com/2008/06/links_stereosco.html">ogleearth</a> to an <a href="http://www.meiradarocha.jor.br/earth/stereo-earth.html">interesting mashup</a> with the new <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/earth/">Google Earth Plugin</a>, that promises Stereo viewing of earth I couldnt wait to get home to try on my windows machine&#8230;.</p>
<p>However try as a I might I could not cross my eyes enough to see it in all its glory. So I copied* the code and made the size of of the globes configurable (well I first tried just changing the hardcoded value), and the result is:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.nearby.org.uk/google/stereo-earth.php?s=200">stereo-earth.php?s=200</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I found I can get it to work on 200pixels, any bigger and just couldnt manage it, but try it yourself (change the numbers in the url).</p>
<p>Another tip: press F11 to remove distracting screen clutter. </p>
<p>* The original Google demo is under the Apache licence, so assume the Stereoscopic version is too, so this one is also, although the <a href="http://www.nearby.org.uk/google/stereo-earth.phps">PHP</a> is rather boring. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google has just <a href="http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2008/05/google-earth-meet-browser.html">announced</a> a new <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/earth/">Google Earth API</a> &#8211; which allows embedding and fully functional Google Earth in just about any webpage. Even is easily intergratable with Google Maps API mashups &#8211; with very little extra code. (takes a number of seconds for that news to sink in!) </p>
<p>Be sure to checkout the <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/earth/documentation/examples.html">samples</a>, (particularly the milktruck demo!), I&#8217;ve also started trying it out with a <a href="http://geb.nearby.org.uk/geb/geograph/">few</a> <a href="http://geb.nearby.org.uk/geb/controls/"><b>demos</b></a> of my <a href="http://www.nearby.org.uk/google/gearth.php">own</a>&#8230; </p>
<p>&#8230;Windows only btw&#8230; </p>
<p>Expect A LOT MORE from this very flexible looking API &#8211; the JS interface can quickly interact with objects (API is based around KML) and gets pretty good control of interface options. </p>
<p>Update: mentioned on <a href="http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2008/05/new_google_earth_browser_capability.html">gearthblog.com</a> which is a good introduction about what this is and what its not!</p>
<p>Update2: and to show it can basically be added to a &#8216;real world&#8217; Gmaps mashup, in a few lines of code, <a href="http://www.nearby.org.uk/google/meet-me-at.php?group=1&#038;clustering=earth">see here</a></p>
