In what ways will we be able to expand or extend this realistic virtual Harbin to come (conceptually from a Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with Time Slider, and OpenSimulator, and at the cellular and atomic levels) ... with 4 "MIT Media Lab Light Bulbs" ... in augmented illuminated reality around us ...

into a football field stadium?

into something the size of Rhode Island at night onto some north Pacific Ocean expanse?

into a life size virtual earth in some dark part of the universe with 8 "MIT Media Lab Space Ship Light Bulbs"? ... u.s.w. ...

{and for wiki STEM research in all 8k languages ...}
