About
An experiment to render Google Street View ® scenes as 3D point clouds using the LiDAR data captured along with the regular panorama images. A rudimentary navigation system allows you to move between connected locations.
Controls
Mouse plus left button to rotate around a scene.
● Mouse plus right button to pan.
● Mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
● Click arrows to move to adjacent scene
● More options in the UI
Future Plans
Render multiple views from a single start location and create a much large space to explore.
● Calculate a collision mesh and let you explore via a first person navigation interface.
● Convert the point data to a single mesh and render in higher quality.
● Improve the navigation arrow visuals.
● Improve the visual transition from one location to another.
● Combine this 3D view with regular Street View and facilitate 3D picking.
