Using Google Earth, Burning Man has created a way to showcase art projects and theme camps in a 3D, digital environment.\r\n
\r\nThe project, called “Burning Man Earth,” is aimed at helping participants connect with the creators of art pieces and theme camps at the annual gathering so that members of the community can learn from each other and extend their reach.
