This proposed domain name would have vast implications
for emerging digital imaging applications for the Web, all of them positive.For
instance, immersive imaging, known under various names such as Virtual Reality, etc.,
provides 360 degree images from a single rotation point. Such images will benefit
immensely from having an associated geographical anchor point - one that ".geo" can
admirably provide. The end collective result will be image collections that
will have historical interest for millenniums.
Imagine the
archeological value of knowing exactly what Rome looked like thousands ago, and how
the city expanded over time. Today, the world hotly debates global warming.
Time sequence images spanning centuries captured at the same geographic co-ordinate
on glaciers and polar ice caps might well help sort out the issue. But, its
difficult to know where the images were captured when all you can see is a two mile
thick ice cap stretching to all horizons.
The application to beach erosion study,
resort facilities, climatology, volcanic activities, agriculture, desert creep,
geology are endless. This proposed domain name is an absolute winner.
