stree_view_depth_map_memories_with_maya


In Memories with Maya, Krish and Dan talk about mapping entire city blocks via real-time depth scanners atop high buildings.

The project done by Patricio Gonzalez, extracting a pointcloud via Google’s Streetview, shows a great first step towards such an eventuality –  TELE-TRAVEL.


Read the GizModo article. and  Patricio’s comments on how he discovered this hidden data in Google Streetview are on his vimeo page, below his video.
