![]() įortunes for the company changed in early 2003 during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, when Dave Lorenzini (Director at Keyhole) enticed CNN, ABC, CBS and other major news networks to use their sophisticated 3D flyby imagery to illustrate Baghdad Activities, in exchange for on-air attribution. Despite making a number of capital deals with Nvidia and Sony, the small company was struggling to pay and retain employees. The product, called "Keyhole EarthViewer", was sold on CDs for use in fields such as real estate, urban planning, defense, and intelligence users paid a yearly fee for the service. Keyhole then developed a way to stream large databases of mapping data over the internet to client software, a key part of the technology, and acquired patchworks of mapping data from governments and other sources. The demo was popular, but the board of Intrinsic wanted to remain focused on gaming, so in 1999, they created Keyhole, Inc., headed by John Hanke. As a demo of their 3D software, they created a spinning globe that could be zoomed into, similar to the Powers of Ten film. At the time, the company was developing 3D gaming software libraries. The core technology behind Google Earth was originally developed at Intrinsic Graphics in the late 1990s. Some countries have requested that certain areas be obscured in Google's satellite images, usually areas containing military facilities. Google Earth has been viewed by some as a threat to privacy and national security, leading to the program being banned in multiple countries. The web-based version of Google Earth also includes Voyager, a feature that periodically adds in-program tours, often presented by scientists and documentarians. Other features allow users to view photos from various places uploaded to Panoramio, information provided by Wikipedia on some locations, and Street View imagery. A flight simulator game is also included. Additional globes for the Moon and Mars are available, as well as a tool for viewing the night sky. In addition to Earth navigation, Google Earth provides a series of other tools through the desktop application, including a measure distance tool. In 2019, Google has revealed that Google Earth now covers more than 97 percent of the world, and has captured 10 million miles of Street View imagery. Google Earth is able to show various kinds of images overlaid on the surface of the earth and is also a Web Map Service client. Users may use the program to add their own data using Keyhole Markup Language and upload them through various sources, such as forums or blogs. The program can also be downloaded on a smartphone or tablet, using a touch screen or stylus to navigate. Users can explore the globe by entering addresses and coordinates, or by using a keyboard or mouse. ![]() The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles.

'She was very unhappy with how that had been handled,' said a source. And she was furious with Keleigh Thomas Morgan.

According to Sensei, even his name refers to the “link” that the player is meant to have with him ( “Silent Protagonist”, The Art of Gaming 101, 15 Aug. He doesn’t speak, non-player characters talk to, around, or through him, and only every now and then, the player gets to decide if his head shakes or nods during a dialogue sequence. Granted, Link does “hiyah,” “eyah,” and “ahh” his way through all of his post-64-bit adventures, but no amount of elfish interjections can change his status as a silent protagonist. This fact can be illustrated by examining one of the most famous characters used to promote this misunderstanding’s veracity: Link from the Legend of Zelda series. These instances of non-verbal speech are generally brief, but since they lay outside of the player’s control, they define the playable character to the player rather than letting her agency shape its characterization. Although it may not utter a single line of dialogue throughout an entire 30-40 hour campaign, a silent protagonist does employ facial expressions and use body language. To begin with, a silent protagonist is often anything but silent. However, this misconception arises from the belief that a player’s voice, emotional responses, and subconscious thoughts become those of the playable character by virtue of its silence. Misconception: A silent protagonist is a blank slate for the player to write onĪ player will always leave a unique fingerprint upon her gaming experience. ![]() A closer look at these misconceptions reveals that simply muting a game’s hero does not enhance the player’s immersion any more or any less than games with talking protagonists. However, I understand this notion to be restrained by three misconceptions regarding the silent protagonist and its relation to the player, to non-playable characters, and to the story. Greater agency breeds more interactivity, and more interactivity equals a deeper level of immersion. The less input that a developer has on a playable character’s personality and character development then the more agency the player should have. This idea essentially reverses the dynamic found in traditional narrative forms such as cinema, in which the character’s voice, thoughts, and personal journey are his own and are only displayed to the viewer. “Silent Protagonist”, The Art of Gaming 101, 15 Aug. We are no longer forced to accept the character’s emotional responses if they are different than the way we would behave. When another character in a game talks to the silent protagonist our emotional reaction becomes the hero’s reaction. Having a silent protagonist is one of the best ways to ensure the player has a more personal connection to the protagonist. When playing a game with a silent protagonist there is no clear distinction between your voice and theirs. As the theory goes, inserting a speechless playable character into a narrative-centric game yields the digital equivalent of the tabula rasa, and upon this blank slate, the player may imprint whatever personality she wishes. ![]() The confusion comes not from what a silent protagonist is but from what it is thought that it can do for the player’s gaming experience. Yet, despite how enduring and wide-spread its usage may be, the silent protagonist remains one of gaming’s most misunderstood tropes. Even video game poster boys Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog began their careers as taciturn adventurers, and after a decade of imitation-Italian gibberish and “too cool for school” rhymes, I wish things had remained that way. In the late 70s, the text-based RPGs Colossal Cave Adventure and Zork featured silent protagonists borrowed straight out of the D&D tradition, and the advent of graphical interfaces gave the first Ultima game’s playable character an overworld to explore, though it scrimped on the verbal niceties. In fact, it is only a slight exaggeration to say that the silent protagonist has been around as along as the medium itself. As far as narrative and gameplay mechanics go, the silent protagonist has a long and venerable history in video games. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pilot Productions has licenced this download for private home use only.

You want to participate in a race with your brand new car that can change its speed with an acceleration of about 6.95 m/s². Divide the distance by time: velocity = 500 / 180 = 2.77 m/s.Change minutes into seconds (so that the final result would be in meters per second).Provided an object traveled 500 meters in 3 minutes, to calculate the average velocity you should take the following steps: It's time to use the average velocity formula in practice. In other words, velocity is a vector (with the magnitude and direction), and speed is a scalar (with magnitude only). The former is determined on the difference between the final and initial position and the direction of movement, while the latter requires only the distance covered. īefore we explain how to calculate velocity, we'd like to note that there is a slight difference between velocity and speed. In order to calculate how much gas will be used during a particular journey, try our gas calculator. The relationship between distance and time is also needed when estimating the fuel use of your car. Remember you can always easily switch between all of them in our tool! In the metric SI system the units are meters per second m/s and kilometers per hour km/h. British imperial units are feet per second ft/s and miles per hour mph. What is your average velocity? With the velocity calculator, you can find that it will be about 59 mph.įrom the above equations, you can also imagine what are velocity units. For example, you drive a car with a speed of 25 mph for 1 h in the city and then reach 70 mph for 3 h on the highway. You should use the average velocity formula if you can divide your route into few segments. Average velocity formula - weighted average of velocities:Īverage velocity = velocity₁ * time₁ + velocity₂ * time₂ +. ![]()
