Well a 1:1 map is super useful. This is another use-case of VR. You can visit appartments or wander the World in Google Earth. I also used this recently for renovation work, my wife created the model of how the studio would look in the future, I imported it in Unity and we visited it in VR before starting the groundwork.
The trick is that the map itself is 1:1 but your moving around in the map is not constrained by the same limitations as in the real world.
- simonh 7y agoArguably the trick is it's not a physical map, which isn't a detail that would have needed to be specified when the saying first came into use.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoPhysical 1:1 maps are still useful. They have numerous military applications, and in general allow you to become familiar with an area without having to physically be in that area, if being there or getting there is difficult for any reason.
- pelario 7y agoDo you have any example of a Physical 1:1 map ? I truly believed that such a thing is (physically) impossible.
- lordnacho 7y agoI would imagine soldiers train for urban combat in actual houses or whatever landscape they need.

Or there's Sindh Kalay[1] which is an Afghan village created in Norfolk, UK. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_Tiger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_Tiger 1. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/welcome-to-afghanistan-no-norfolk-1919462.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/welcome-t...
- sombremesa 7y agoEven a physical 1:1 map can have utility, since it ostensibly has more portability. That is, as long as it's a map and not a 3d model. Even then, though, a 3d model can have uses, such as tailoring when the customer cannot physically be there. That is, as long as it's a 3d model and not a clone. Then again, a clone has their uses... Whoever came up with that saying just wasn't very imaginative.
