#2The unattributed precursor to Google Earth. Just finished watching The Billion Dollar Code (four episode miniseries) on Netflix and yeah, "Don't be evil" stopped being a thing quite a long time ago. Broke my heart.

#3I just finished watching the "The Billion Dollar Code" as well. I'm not sure how dramatized the events in the series were, but if even half of it's true then it's pretty damning. From what I can tell, TerraVision was totally legit, and it's pretty shocking to imagine how different our world can be if their founders found the kind of support someone from Silicon Valley could have found.

#4This is SRI’s (formerly Stanford Research Institute) project with the same name also from 1994 that showed similar capabilities and was one of the reasons the court decided against the claimants in their lawsuit against Google.

Thanks for this link. Just watched the Netflix series and was discouraged. This appears to be simultaneous serendipity based on the Stanford paper. Unless the Stanford team includes some Berlin overlap.

Does the paper pre-date Kyoto - or was there even a Kyoto unveiling?

If you‘re able to understand German, one of the programmers, that‘s also shown in the making of, also did an almost 4 hour long podcast interview where they unroll the real story: https://cre.fm/cre222-terravision
