Views of the World’s Technology Capital At Silicon Valley Map & Calendar, we’re constantly developing new products. This page features some of our more unusual directions, such as holographic posters, historical posters, and a testimonial to emerging technologies. As collector’s items, these maps and calendars will serve as official records for a critical turning point in history. Silicon Valley and its companies’ achievements deserve historic documentation that will remain visible for many years to come.  Silicon Valley is famous for its garage startups and spin-offs, where freedom and entrepreneurial drive ignite new technologies and ideas. That environment made Silicon Valley what it is today — one of the most unusual business ecosystems on the planet, with the greatest combination of brain power and talent the world has ever seen. Many of today’s unknown companies will become the leaders of tomorrow. The 2001 Emerging Technologies edition of the Silicon Valley Map & Calendar highlighted some of those companies and the technologies they were developing. To emphasize this dynamic entrepreneurial landscape, we used Digital Elevation Map data from the United States Geological Survey to render the geography of Silicon Valley in three dimensions. The view has very accurate contours of the San Francisco Bay area, although we exaggerated the elevations for visual distinction and artistic effect. Viewers can easily discern four of the San Francisco Bay’s five bridges as well as other area landmarks and highways. (Click here for a larger view.) |

 This unusual calendar offered a three-dimensional holographic view of Silicon Valley when viewed with the special HoloPlay glasses we supplied with each copy. Like the Emerging Technology poster, the 3D Holographic edition was also computer-rendered from U.S. Geological Survey data — a unique and fitting way to explore the Who’s Who of Silicon Valley.

 The Historic 2000 Edition highlighted the companies that began the technology revolution in the last century and predicted where they will go in this one. It’s a historical record that shows Silicon Valley’s progress during the past 100 years. To build the map, we composited recent photographs of the greater San Francisco Bay Area taken by the Indian Remote and Landsat satellites. We then emphasized major landmarks, roadways, and structures to create a detailed, high-resolution image. (Click here for a larger view.) The Historic edition placed companies among the most important moments of history as Silicon Valley’s leaders. Our Official Records of the Year 2000 are historical milestones and testaments to the 20th Century. |
