Computer users can now get a three dimensional view of work on the World Trade Center site on their computers.

Construction on the September 11th Memorial can now be explored in virtual reality, thanks to a partnership between the National September 11th Memorial and Museum and Google Earth.

Museum officials say the feature will help the public better understand progress at the site.
