Speaking of submarines, when the new 3D Ocean was added to Google Earth 5 back in February, my first impression was that the experience of going through the ocean was like being in a submarine. A week ago, André, the author of WikiSailing, let me test his latest creation: a submarine simulator for the Google Earth plugin. You can now try out André’s sub simulator at: www.Sea-Seek.com which is an on-line nautical guide which provides information and photos about coastal navigation and ports. Just scroll down and look on the lower right for “Virtual Dive”. You can choose to be a submarine or a killer whale.
Hit the “Run/Pause” button to start. I suggest you click on the “Speed” option’s “+” key to make the sub go faster. Then use the right and left arrow keys to turn. You can use the up and down arrow keys to control your depth.
Cool idea! But it’s a little too jerky for me.
