Mark Aubin, co-founder of Google Earth will talk tomorrow (Friday, March 13, 2009) in Room 104 via Skype from the Google Earth headquarters in Mountain View California at 2:05 PM for Nadia Amoroso's LAN 3025 class. This talk is open to all students, faculty & staff!

Mark Aubin joined Google in late 2004, when his company, Keyhole Inc., was acquired by Google, which led to the release of Google Earth. As a Keyhole co-founder and now a software developer on the Google Earth team, Mark serves as a spokesperson for Google Earth, communicating with customers around the world.

Prior to founding Keyhole, Mark worked at Silicon Graphics, where he was an applications engineer specializing in geospatial imaging. It was here that he participated in the development of the legendary "Space-To-Your-Face" project in which people could zoom from outer space to street level views of our planet. While showing this demo, Mark became convinced of the potential for a digital globe product for the masses.
