Back in January Google released this delightful video to promote Google Maps. It features a wooden block 3D labyrinth of a cityscape that's suspended and rotated to show off a physical representation of navigating via Google maps. At the time it promoted a beautiful HTML5 walk through of Google Maps, but it always struck me as surprising that there was no digital execution to match. Fast forward a couple months and now we see the release of Google Maps Cube. It's a fun WebGL based game/Chrome Experiment that allows users to experience different map based challenges. The experience digitally replicates the metal ball in a wooden maze-type tilt games while promoting different features and functionality of Google Maps.
