L'ANTIGA ROMA A GOOGLE EARTH

L'antiga Roma arriba Google Earth

Amb més de 6.700 edificis en tres dimensions i la col·laboració de la Universitat de Virgina, l'última capa incorporada a Google Earth et convida a recórrer els carrers i edificis de l'antiga ciutat de Roma al voltant de l'any 320 d. de C., amb llocs tan emblemàtics com el Coliseu o el Fòrum Romà. Per accedir als continguts d'aquesta capa n'hi ha prou amb activar-la en li menú de capes on la trobaràs com "L'antiga Roma en 3D" (Ancient Rome 3D) i després prémer sobre les icones grogues que apareixen sobre els llocs més emblemàtics de la ciutat de Roma per a accedir a la informació històrica i descarregar els models dels diferent edificis; portarà el seu temps atès el nombre i grandària de les recreacions, algunes bastant complexes i amb detalls dels interiors.
