Taking Burning Man to the Net's masses | CNET News.com:
If you went to Burning Man this year and didn't get a chance to see that one great art piece everyone was talking about, the event's organizers and Google may have a solution.
By leveraging the open-endedness and utility of Google Earth--the search giant's 3D mapping and visualization tool--Burning Man is embarking on what it's calling "Burning Man Earth." The project's creators envision that eventually they will be able to offer fully 3D versions of each year's event in the Black Rock desert, and in the process give participants a way to connect with the makers of art pieces and theme camps so that members of the community can learn from each other and extend the event's reach across the world.
