3D Imaging Software

Researchers from Texes A&M University have developed a new software that could immensely help rescue teams find victims after a disaster. Before this software was created, rescue teams would have to first draw the wreckage site from hand onto paper. What this new software does is it creates a 3D image of the wreckage site so that rescue teams can see the situation their faced with from all angles. The software builds the 3D image from pictures taken from airplanes above. This system is much more fast, portable, and accurate than the traditional drawing.

Google Latitude

Another cool new release from Google just came out today- Google Latitude. Google Latitude is a very handy program that you can install into your phone or computer. What the program does is it allows you to see where your friends or family are (as long as they also have the program installed) where ever they go. The program uses GPS to track the phones belonging to the people you want to find. Of course the people on the other end of the phone have to give their consent to let you to see where they are, which is why the program is meant mainly for friends and family.
