Virtual Art - Amazing use of technologies.

The graphic power of the computer keeps getting better and better for the consumer (and you don't want to ask about the military!)  Here is a link to Google's new Art Project.  Check it out.

But first, you might want to spend some quality time in the Virtual Sistine Chapel


In the Virtual Sistine Chapel the amazing bit of technology gives you a view that you would never see in person.  First of all, you would NEVER be alone in the room, it is ALWAYS VERY CROWDED and of course you can't see Michelangelo's artwork close up as you can here. This is especially spectacular if you have a large high-definition screen!

In the Virtual Sistine Chapel, you can VIEW EVERY PART OF THE MICHELANGELO'S MASTERPIECE; JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOUR ARROW IN THE DIRECTION YOU WISH TO SEE.  In the lower left, click on the plus (+) to move closer, on the minus (-)  to move away, or use the wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out. The choir recording is thrown in free.  Enjoy
