It appears that Google might be testing a new metaverse application based around their google map data.
Acording to an article over at TimesOnline, Google is giving Arizona State University students the opportunity to test a new
product “that will be publicly launched later this year”.

An announcement by the university, which already has significant ties with
Google, said that the project was being developed by a “major internet company”
and contained hints that it would include features related to 3D-modelling and
video gaming.

The rumor is said to have started by a blog
post this year from Michael Eisenberg, a partner at Benchmark Capital, the
technology-focused venture capital group, who said he had heard “through the PhD
grapevine … Google is working on turning Google Earth into a virtual world a
la Second Life.”
