BetaNews | at | by Mike
In an attempt to level the playing field with Google Earth, Microsoft has scooped up Caligari, makers of 3-D rendering software. The small company's software will play a big part in enhancing the three dimensional experience within Virtual Earth. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"I am deeply convinced that union of Caligari technologies and the scope of Virtual Earth project and vision behind it creates the perfect home for us and new opportunities for each one of you as part of the Virtual Earth community," CEO Roman Ormandy said in a note to users.
