Edushi, 3D China city maps

September 3, 2009 by Yein Jee

Developed by Aladdin Infotech, Edushi (lit. E-Metropolis in Chinese) is a website which provides 3D maps of the main cities in China. The main page is in Chinese, but there’s a few places with English version as well, Hong Kong for example.

Looks cool, Sim City (PC game) fans will like it for sure. Unfortunately it doesn’t provide much advantage over 2D maps; and it’s probably easier to navigate the traditional two dimensional maps.

Virtual tour of Beijing’s Forbidden City

October 10, 2008 by Yein Jee

Beijing’s Forbidden City has long been one of China’s most popular tourist spots and iconic landmarks… but now, online visitors can experience the old dynasty culture without having to set foot on the Chinese soil.

After three years of development, the Palace Museum and IBM have unveiled on Friday (Oct 10) a virtual palace where online tourists can peek into the history and culture of the former imperial palace in a game-like 3D environment.

The project will allow people who cannot visit Beijing to experience the Forbidden City, while also providing a platform for further learning and refences for those who have visited the place in real life.

The project looks pretty cool at first glance, but the loading speed is killing me… seems like it might take forever to download the software.

World’s smallest website

April 15, 2008 by Yein Jee

Guimp.com, measures at only 18×18 pixels, is arguably the world’s smallest website.

There are a few sites that are smaller than Guimp, but when it comes to functionality, Guimp rules… the website even has games like pacman, pong, asteroids etc. and a gallery of pixel arts.
