The blip.tv version of the above "The Making of Virtual Harbin Hot Springs" video has been removed, so I'm posting here the Youtube URL ... and will do so eventually here too - http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm via http://scottmacleod.com.

How to be at Harbin virtually from our bath tubs, and deeply?

In what ways will we be able to explore doing Watsu virtually ~

I'm excited too to begin my second Harbin book, and with building a realistic virtual Harbin, as comparabale ethnographic field site, and part of an interactive, movie-realistic, build-able virtual earth (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Worlds).

I'm glad also to learn recently that Google Earth has been deprecated - https://developers.google.com/earth/articles/phpsqlearth - and so could become the basis for such a virtual world for everyone ... from those who build architecturally with AUTO CAD to STEM-oriented researchers to anthropologists working in the field to film makers to museums ... into which a virtual Harbin as ethnographic field site for actual / virtual comparison could fit. Such an interactive, movie-realistic, build-able virtual earth will also make far-reaching sites/classrooms/laboratories for both modeling and learning.
