During Google's extended edition opening keynote (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/15/live-from-google-i-os-2013-opening-keynote/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) this morning, there was a distinctive lack of skydiving. However, developers showed off lots of interesting things, including functionality highlighting the easy, real-time syncing of data across multiple instances of the Chrome browser -- whether on smartphone or tablet or desktop. The on-stage demo was a simple slot car racing game but, out on the I/O floor Google had a somewhat more advanced implementation: Map Dive. Running on seven separate instances of Chrome and relying on a 3D camera, Map Dive lets you experience the Maps API from a rather elevated perspective. Join us after the break for an arm-waving demo.Gallery: Map Dive at Google I/O (http://www.engadget.com/photos/map-dive-at-google-i-o/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/dsc05913_thumbnail.jpg) (http://www.engadget.com/photos/map-dive-at-google-i-o/5883470?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/dsc05914_thumbnail.jpg) (http://www.engadget.com/photos/map-dive-at-google-i-o/5883471?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/dsc05920_thumbnail.jpg) (http://www.engadget.com/photos/map-dive-at-google-i-o/5883472?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/dsc05923_thumbnail.jpg) (http://www.engadget.com/photos/map-dive-at-google-i-o/5883473?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/dsc05924_thumbnail.jpg) (http://www.engadget.com/photos/map-dive-at-google-i-o/5883474?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)
