Not to pull the whole "Everything Is Amazing And Nobody Is Happy" on you but pause to consider the sheer scale of the dataset. 2500 cities have geometry data to the level where you can see details on individual buildings for areas extending well out into the suburbs.
Yes - it's blurred up close but my god, isn't it still amazing?
- bmicraft 3y agoThe thing is, it does seem like it's gotten any better in therms of resolution over the past couple of years
- andybak 3y agoNot so sure. I've been using Google Earth VR semi-regularly for 4 years or so and not noticed a big change.
- deserialized 3y agoIs it cool? Yes, very Photo realistic? No If I was developing a competitor to Flight Sumulator its a fantastic asset If I'm developing a first person experience that isn't from an airplane, not so much I appreciate that this exists but it's far from the best, nor the only large-scale geometry asset for a cityscape, though by volume has more cities.even if the geometry is more rudimentary than other solutions
- andybak 3y agoHave you tried Google Earth in VR?
- deserialized 3y agoYes, and it was much higher quality than what the videos here show in terms of texture resolution at street-level
