Eingana:
The First Live Atlas in 3D
Amazon.co.uk
Review
If you want to step into the shoes of a great explorer and travel
across the globe then enter the virtual world of Eingana.
This ambitious and unusual title is a cross between an electronic
atlas and a computer video game. It takes a while to install which
is hardly surprising given the amount of 3-D content and satellite
images it offers. You can then travel quickly through a virtual representation
of planet earth, sweeping over high mountain ranges, visiting countries
and cities, and seeing and hearing animated creatures. You can visit
forests, tops of mountains or journey underwater. The best place
to start is the demo, which automatically takes you on a quick tour
taking in herds of elephants and giraffes as you sweep over breathtaking
computer-generated landscapes.
This title will be hugely entertaining for enthusiastic video gamers.
Not only does it include virtual creatures alive today, but it also
features mythical ones such as the Yeti, who you can find on the
Himalayan glaciers. At the bottom of the screen various pieces of
information are displayed, such as the height above ground and sea
level according to where you are based on this virtual representation
of the earth's surface.
It is hard not to be impressed by the amount of work that has gone
into generating these virtual models of the world. The long-term
aim is for you to be able to build houses, create virtual representations
of yourself and virtually inhabit these lands that have been created.

Eingana voor PC
Eingana is the greatest and richest cyber-world ever imagined, composed
of 9 thousand billion polygons, 4.3 billion by 2.1 billion pixels for
the textures, tens of billions of 3D objects. Much more information
than the Internet contains today, on two simple CD-ROMs. Between an
electronic atlas and a video game, Eingana is an ecological form of
entertainment, the pleasure of which is to discover the universe that
it generates, so remarkably like our own.
Eingana is a replica of the world with satellite imaginary that allows
users to look at the planet in a new way. You can go where you want
in the world looking for specific items relevant to a particular country
or area.
Whether you decide to fly over the Grand Canyon or float in space orbiting
around the Earth, the aim is to build up your photo album by taking
photographs of specific objects or indigenous animals. This includes
finding the sunken Titanic, seeing the view from the top of Mount Everest,
finding native animals and even creatures like the loch ness monster
and dinosaurs. Eingana contains:
- Over
100 species of animals including birds, fish, reptiles
and more.
- More
than 30 types of objects (Monuments, Ships, Space Shuttles)
- More
than 20 types of mythical objects or creatures
- More
that 40,000 place names
In Eingana
you can change time, day and climate. Wherever you are in the
world and no matter what time of day it is Eingana tells you
the ground and air temperature and your geographical position.
The satellite images are accurate to within 200m for Western
Europe and the United States, 1km for the rest of the planet,
10km for ocean floor and 10m for the biggest cities.
