EarthTunnel is one of these collaborative projects that come around every now and then, and that aim to create a true representation of people from all over the world on the Internet.
In this particular case, people can make a visual contribution to a tunnel that can be traversed down by anyone on his browser just by using the cursor keys.
The user can move forwards and stop whenever a picture he can see laterally catches his fancy either because he knows the person, or because the picture has a funny illustration. When that happens, he can use the pertinent cursor key in order to give it a closer look.
And there is more than that, as each picture has a story attached. These will only be revealed when the tunnel is finished – that will be about 500 km underground, or a circle of 35500 km of circumference. Since the project has just started, it still has a long way ahead of it. See if there is something in it for you, and if that is the way that you want other people to remember a piece of you.
EarthTunnel.com In Their Own Words
“The idea is simple. I would like to propose free spaces of posting in a virtual tunnel as long as the round the world tour in order to be able to make a virtual round the world tour.
The spaces placed at the disposal make it possible each one to be expressed by associating an image and a history. A history which the made-to-order of a temporal capsule would be revealed only in several years.”
Why EarthTunnel.com It Might Be A Killer
Many people love the idea of leaving a part of themselves behind. A site such as this one makes it all possible, and in a fun setting too.
