Skyline Software Systems is a privately held company pursuing the realization of a "Digital Earth" that seeks to map our planet as never before. Founded in 1997, Skyline is re-inventing the term "interactive" as it relates to our planet. Drawing on our experience in software creation and sophisticated graphics systems, we've formed a unique collaboration with content partners to create an innovative web-based 3D visualization of the Earth. Skyline's "Digital Earth" is compiled from many kinds of information provided by partners and converted to a real-time 3D streaming format with our suite of simple yet powerful software tools. This interactive 3D world allows users to virtually fly anyplace on the planet, see it from any perspective, then query or interact with the Digital Earth in a natural way. The technology enables new virtual tourism, virtual real estate, interactive sports, media and 3D mapping applications on the Net, and provides a rich personal experience. Our Terra technology incorporates high-quality pictures of the earth available from aerial photography and new commercial imaging satellites with other geo-spatial data, and applies it to the growing volume of geo-specific Internet or Intranet environments. As a result, Skyline delivers the most realistic, 3D interactive experience of our Earth ever realized, and is capable of transmitting this vision via the Internet for millions of users to explore, enjoy and use.
