In this issue of Trends, we revisit PicLens and check out some cool features that let you navigate in "3D". We also take a look at Lake Forest College, where a group of academics, students, and technologists have inaugurated the Virtual Burnham Initiative to recreate and rebuild a past (and sometimes alternative) vision of Chicago. Using the century old Plan of Chicago, a landmark urban planning scheme by Daniel H. Burnham and Edward H. Bennett, initiative members are developing 3-D models, rich, multifaceted maps, and other virtual renderings of the original plan. Finally, Robert Baird tells us about the Illinois Digital Newspaper Collection, which includes a growing selection of electronic scans of the campus Daily Illini (1916 to 1936) and the Urbana Daily Courier (1916 to 1925).
