Streetview Stereographic

I guess I wouldn't call this stereographic, as in there is not a separate image for the right and left eye, nor does it produce a 3D effect. It does, however, provide the nice fisheye source view from Google Maps.

  It uses a stereographic projection: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereographic_projection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereographic_projection I think what you're referring to is also known as stereoscopy.

At first I wasn't sure what was going on, all I could see what blue. Turns out it defaults to 0͏° lattitude and 0͏° longitude. You should choose a more sensible default.

Which browsers does this work in? It's not loading at all in Firefox (3.6.24), and in Chrome (16.0.912.63), I get a vertical blue stripe on the page, with a few map controls that don't work (zooming out is broken). (Ubuntu for both browsers).

  It works for me in FF 8 (Linux)

  It appears to use WebGL, here is a link to http://get.webgl.org/ http://get.webgl.org/ which should tell you about software/hardware support.

Is there a serious demand for stereo street view? I wrote this code 3 years ago while working for the Army, then Google released their version of it. But now it's pulled. The code is released to the public so if there is interest in this, I'll see if I can clean it up and release it.

Very awesome piece there. I'm mostly baffled by the flash-less streetview, though. Or am I missing something and this is flash after all?

  It's a WebGL implementation of a stereographic projection. Note you can also change the shader code by clicking the + button on the top left
