The Orioles have become the first team in Major League Baseball to feature a 3D tour of their stadium on their Web site.
Is this a development that will lead to more victories on the field? Of course not, but the bottom line is this: it's pretty cool.
The tour was created by Harris Corp., a Florida-based company that uses high-fidelity videos based on ground, aerial and satellite imagery to create the applications, according to a story in the Orlando Sentinel. The company has created "virtual tours" of Washington, D.C., the Presidential Inauguration Parade route, the National Memorial Day Parade route, Arlington National Cemetery, and the U.S. Marine Corps Marathon route. But Camden Yards is its first ballpark.
Even if you've been to Oriole Park a million times, check out the simulation. Call it a 21st century virtual version of Orioles magic.
