Google Maps: 3D presentation of places

Google Maps

Street View is no longer sufficient to Google Maps. For more than 15 000 sites and monuments, Google offers a 3D tour obtained with pictures posted by users via services Picasa and Panoramio.

Following a selection of photos from one place overlapping computer systems have computed Google 3D scenes. A calculation of depth and transitions to give the impression of 3D and fly all around from one place viewed from several perspectives.

The result is to consult with MapsGL WebGL which is the version of Google Maps (see our news). Among the 15 000 places to visit in this way, the Eiffel Tower is no exception.

Once activated MapsGL (for configurations that support it), a search for "Eiffel Tower" leads into the left side panel on a tour in pictures that reveals the 3D scene.
