The program was developed by C3, a subsidiary of the Swedish defense industry company SAAB, together with a PC gaming company called Agency 9. The complete article is available (sorry, Swedish only), but the 3D-rendering of Stockholm is available as a Java applet from the Swedish phone-dictionary service Hitta.se (tick the checkbox — it's an ordinary disclaimer, and click 'Till 3D-kartan').

So basically go here and take a look at it.

Google earth isn't completely 3D though. So combine this with Google Earth, or improve it more, and before too long we'll have something awesome.

It is completely 3D if you toggle the options for it.
