   Wasn’t the problem with mesh networks that the amount of meta data needed eventually becomes too big?

   I love Panoramio and shame on Google that they made it more difficult to access in the new maps.google.com! I often use it to see how places look like I may or may not travel to, sometimes to see how places look like that I order things fro

   I can't find it ATM, but I think I saw a technique that did exactly that using something like joint bilateral upsampling: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/kopf/jbu/

   Well, that would be captured too.

   Carrying that thought further, you would basically need a high-resolution 3D video recording of our entire planet, captured by a network of nano bots. Then a maybe 13-dimensional vector (position, direction, up direction, time, focal length

   What about the changing angle of light incidence in this fast-forward scene? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOkJ1-vnh-s It somehow looks like it would be dynamic diffuse indirect lighting. Wouldn’t that need to be pre-rend

    Here is my N=1 armchair hypothesis: If there really is a difference, I could imagine that the limited tactile experience is the key factor. Often times when I go for a walk with a podcast on I remember it much better because I associate par

    Ah, thanks for clearing it up. I was just surprised seeing it with 13 points off the front page the second time I checked it. Looks like I have to eat my words.

    That video was actually briefly on the HN front page. I’m still wondering why some people apparently flagged so that it was quickly relegated to page 3 or so.

    I find it frustrating that one can only rotate the view within a limited range. Otherwise great work!

    It looks like it's only in a triangular orbit while approaching but it will eventually be in an elliptic orbit.

    How does one go about finding such a complex trajectory that finally perfectly aligns with the trajectory of the comet? Trial and error?
