Edushi: China’s Cities Drawn and Mapped
Whilst Google uses satellite imagery, photographs and map overlays to create their mapping systems, China’s Edushi uses intricate (and quite incredible) computer-based drawings to create their city maps. Edushi will ‘virtually represent’ many Chinese cities – a part of Hong Kong is shown above (and that’s the city-demo you can use on their site). Each proposed city map will be complete with virtual community, game-like emulation advertisements and directory features. Try not to spend quite a bit of time here exploring and marvelling at the remarkable (and zoom-able) bird’s-eye views of Hong Kong.
It’s interesting to draw parallels with the pixel-illustrations of eBoy, but thus far, Edushi doesn’t feature giant destructive robots and scantily-clad women riding missiles. Via PSFK.
