Yes, I believe so. I think you are referring to the engine that is being worked on for the MMO, Infinity:

I've been waiting for this one forever now.

One step closer to being able to live out my fantasy of being one of the writers from Myst
The video in the OP is pretty amazing. Looking forward to seeing what will come of this.
I remember seeing this video of Infinity with the ship approaching a planet and then going right down and flying around the surface. So impressive.

Oh yes, that engine.
Video in OP, that engine is nice, those water effects are good it just needs a few tweaks.

I like the idea of combining tech like this with something like minecraft, each player could have there own little part of the world to do there thing minecraft style, with other users seamlessly able to move around the planet checking out what other people are upto.

It's currently more interesting than it is fun.

An engine tech demo is supposed to be fun?

There's a lot of potential with an engine like that.

I was hoping for faster vehicles/planes.

Really interesting tech.
Might be worth making a new thread to get people's attention. A 1:1 scale 3D map of the entire planet?
Here's a video of me zooming into some recognisable landmasses.

Some things they don't mention, Tab will give you a HUD with speed and altitude (can go up all the way to 200,000m/s) and G will give a google map overlay so you can work out where you are. Nepal was bit of a bad starting point for them to use IMO as it wasn't that recognisable with the forest-only terrain.
