An interesting virtual city project I've come across recently; Virtual Philadelphia is a 3D online virtual city mirrored off the Center City of Philadelphia, PA, full of historical landscapes and buildings, hundreds of years of culture and one of the most beloved and popular US cities.
GeoSim compiles gigabytes of aerial photos, street images, laser scans and geodetic measurements of Philadelphia to build an accurate 3D city model, capable of providing a genuine life simulation of the physical streets, buildings and urban landscape with the "look and feel" of a real city.

Through a broadband Internet connection, Virtual Philadelphia conveys to anaudience of local residents, national and international tourists and visitors the true experience of being there, combined with a variety of location-related content and useful applications, such as Local Search, Virtual Tours, City Planning, E-Shopping and Human Interaction.
As a user you have the option to walk, hover, jump to and simply roam through true-to-life Virtual Philadelphia, or to meet other users, to click on any building, bus stop or shop to find out more information about it or even to go inside.
