- dag11 2y agoMore conventional mesh-based photogrammetry options include: - https://maps.google.com https://maps.google.com (satellite view) - https://earth.google.com https://earth.google.com (also in browser, possibly better camera controls for what you want) - Bing Maps (3D flyover mode, more stale data in my experience) - Apple Maps satellite view (only on macOS/iOS) - Google Earth VR[1] (requires a Windows PC and a VR headset that can connect to it) - Microsoft Flight Sim 2020/2024 (requires a beefy Windows PC, uses Bing Maps plus a lot of other enhancements and rendering goodness. Most lifelike "feels like I'm there" but not true to earth) I'm not aware of splat-based city photogrammetry aside from one-offs like this but I'd love to learn if there's any such projects!

- whycome 2y agoThere are a couple okay apps on the Meta Quest that use the Google Earth API and you can fly around. It's neat. Wooorld. Fly. EarthQuest.
