Search Globe from Google


Search globe,a tool was recently launched by Google will visualize people’s curiosity with pinpoints related to the volume of searches grouped by languages.

The Google Data Arts Team, who created Google Body, harnessed the modern browser’s ability to generate fast 3D imaging with WebGL to display a colorful globe that represents the day-to-day searches by people all over the world.

Valdean Klump of the Google Data Arts Team said “The Search Globe visualizes searches from one day, and shows the language of the majority of queries in an area in different colors. You’ll see a bright landscape of queries across Europe, and parts of Asia for instance, but unfortunately we see many fewer searches from parts of the world lacking Internet access—and often electricity as well—like Africa,” explained in a blog post.

Chrome or Firefox 4 is needed to use the tool properly. The 3D tool that navigates the human body is here.
