Recently, a group of Chicago Googlers who are passionate about
sports came together to find ways to support Chicago's bid for
the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. We got in touch with folks from
World Sport Chicago, who had recently agreed to organize the href="http://www.worldboxingchicago.org/" id="r-.v"
>AIBA World Boxing
Championships, and asked them how Google technology could help
support this local event with global reach. Together, we came up
with an idea to educate fans about the boxers and their home
countries through an href="http://aibaworldboxing.googlepages.com/aiba_world_boxing_championship.kml"
id="tu_h" >information
overlay on Google Earth,
embedding select information about each boxer and their sponsoring
country in pop-up windows across the globe.

Then we took this idea further by matching up our software with href="http://www.accenture.com/Global/Services/Accenture_Technology_Labs/Services/SeeingTheBigPicture.htm?c=ad_07grusglbpsgs_0607&n=Accenture_Interactive_sL05Accenture_Interactive_accenture_interactive_network"
id="ubcg"
>Accenture's
Interactive Wall Technology to make the information even more
lively. The Accenture Interactive Wall literally put the power of
Google Earth at one's fingertips, so that people could
manipulate the globe using their hands. Thousands of fans visited
this display during the championships and we're pleased we
could play a part in developing this learning tool for them.
