Mountain View, California - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - August 23, 2006 - Search engine, Google, will be featured at one of the biggest gatherings of science fiction fans, the 40th Anniversary Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas, hosted by Creation Entertainment, among more than 15,000 devotees.
In conjunction with this week's convention, Google launched a special site that provides developers with information on a number of Google tools, including Earth, Maps and SketchUp. From far and wide, Google users have created thousands of imagery overlays for Google Earth, many illustrating their appreciation for all things other-worldly. While in Las Vegas to help celebrate Star Trek's 40th anniversary, the Google booth will showcase these science fiction scenes and structures, created by users, highlighting intergalactic life.
In addition, Google will introduce a new tool that offers a better way to display visual information on handheld devices. Mobile KML (Keyhole Markup Language), was developed to enable developers to illustrate information to overlay on Google Maps for mobile phones.
Already available on the desktop through Google Maps and Google Earth, developers may share palm-sized versions of Earth-bound destinations. Mobile phone users will be able to view the same KML files they access on Earth and Maps on the PC, directly on phones. Throughout deep space, fans will be able to view alien outposts on Earth directly from handheld devices.
