- akos 14y agoI think the creator of the project found some failures in the 45° view of Google Maps and then he/she went to these locations and took a photograph. Then he/she edited these photos so that they looked like the Google Maps failures are real. Anyway, it looks interesting.
- kjf 14y agoIt's highlighting some of the inaccuracies of google maps 45 degree angle views by showing how these buildings would look in real life if viewed from street level.
- pervycreeper 14y agoI assume he's taking stitching artifacts from Google Maps and making mockups of what they might look like from the ground. It's a bit hard to see that at first because Street View exists. Note that the vantage points from the ground are where pedestrians might plausibly go.
- Vivtek 14y agoThat's it exactly. She's taken stuff from her photo portfolio and warped it to match the Maps aerial photography. It's brilliant! But it probably has more impact for me since it's where I'm living and I've seen many of these buildings quite recently.
- sageikosa 14y agoThe Google maps views are pretty good for what I would assume is an automated (or mostly automated) stitching process; locally consistent, and the discontinuities seem to occur between buildings.
