There is a new creation, 'virtual berlin' which allows a person to be in two places at the same time, as 20km of the city has been replicated into an online world.
At the end of 2008, 50'000 buildings in the german capital are expected to have been copied into the virtual world.This may be a rather strange idea especially for people who are so used to have their feet on the ground.
"While Second Life and others worlds offer some stylised versions of cities - Twinity uses the 3D mapping data currently used for things like satnav and Google Earth," said Jochen Hummel, the chief executive of Metaversum - owner of Twinity
The closest thing to wandering around the globe is through 3D mapping applications such as google earth that give a snapshot of places.
