Voronoi and end of week update
It's Saturday at last! A rather hectic week has past with this tricky paper on KML finally handed in. I attempted to cover coordinate transformations between different projections, and how KML might handle such an issue.
I managed to cover enough luckily without having to delve into some of the complex equations that you need to use. My main point, is that rather than have the client (GE etc.) interpret different notations of coordinate tags, which is probably unlikely, it may be possible to build these complex transformations into the XSLT that you would use to transform your XML data source into KML...?
Now I've just to do a small essay on using Virtual Worlds to aid teaching, a small exploratory data analysis exercise..and I'm finally done with courses and can focus on my dissertation.
Before heading out last night and consuming a few too many beers, I went to the Edinburgh Earth Observatory/AGI weekly seminar, which this week featured Chris Gold, EU Marie Curie chair at Glamorgan University and Voronoi Evangelist!. For such a potentially dry subject, focussing on algorithms, he made it remarkeably interesting, and is an excellent speaker. For those interested, Glamorgan University is hosting the Fourth Annual Symposium on Voronoi Diagrams
Finally, related to my dissertation, Earth is square links to an excellent article about using WW in the classroom.

May want to also check my Wiki page I have for WW in Education: http://www.earthissquare.com/WorldWind/index.php?title=World_Wind_For_Education
Thanks Chad.
I actually did an essay on how virtual environments can aid education and collaborative learning - and mentioned your wiki :)
qkWWRS The best blog you have!
XEMa6v Hello all!
Thanks to author.
actually, that's brilliant. Thank you. I'm going to pass that on to a couple of people.
