EveryScape: Google Street View killer?
If you were impressed with Google Street View, you ain't seen nothing yet. EveryScape is a new service set to launch this fall that presents a realistic 3D view of streetscapes and public places by putting together information from 2D photos.
You can navigate through the streetscape by clicking on green arrow buttons. Where information is available, you can also click on icons to find out what buildings you're looking at, which is a nice feature. There's a sample streetscape of the area around San Francisco's Union Square up on EveryScape's website. Here's a little screengrab we did (the graphics are actually a bit more fluid than the video suggests, but our video capture software prefers low framerates.
Based on the sample, the images appear to be more detailed than Google Street View, with no visible gaps between images.
EveryScape plans to add more cities, starting with Boston, New York and Seattle. While the streetscapes will be photographed by EveryScape photographers, the site also plans to use photos submitted by users to flesh out their offering

If you think that is cool, look at what Google is licensing from Immersive Media. Left click and drag on the steaming video to look around in real"streaming"time. These camera systems are real, we installed one in SmarTruck3.
