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.
