My faith in ‘the convergence’ was re-affirmed by Cory Ondrejka’s recent commentary on this video in his excellent collapsing geography blog. It’s easy to forget, and often difficult to visualize, what these newly emerging (and converging) technologies will bring in both the near and distant futures. In the meantime, it’s exciting to see progress, fun to dream, and even more important to remember, what it is that we’re working toward. In Cory’s words:

“There is an awesome convergence of photogrammetric techniques — like this as well as Microsoft’s Virtual Earth — and human edited geometry a la Second Life and Google Earth coming that is going to give us interactive-scale and fully up-to-date models of the whole world. And wait for that convergence to hit augmented reality. Living in the future kicks butt.”

I couldn’t agree more. Let the convergence begin!
