You want to see how EveryScape can convert 2D Panos into 3D Environments. Check this out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANHhw3HNfk Now of course, they do not use the technology they have created to the fullest extent on EveryScape.com, but if you watch their demo video, you will see, they truly can convert 2D panos into 3D Environments. They actually started off creating the software for use in Video Games, but turned their attention to mapping the world online. This is to the person that posted with the name Avi.

The large cost factor for Google street view and EveryScape is the guy/girl in the car driving for days and days (and in the NYC traffic...) and not the camera equipment. The baseline street images is the one thing that they are unlikely to change often. EveryScape did it right, with 360 degree view and sharp image, Google has a narrow landscape and average quality. EveryScape did the MSFT thing: copied a good concept and did it better. Actually MSFT with a twist, they are using Google maps as a base...

I like the transition effect between image nodes better than Street View's simple cross-fade, but you don't buy a company for a special effect that could be implemented in a day or two. I don't see Google or anyone buying them unless they have key patents. B) These aren't 3D panoramas. I don't know why TechCrunch can't seem to get that straight. If it was 3D, you could move freely, not just among the handful of nodes where they happened to snap photos. Any picture looks 3D, but you can tell it isn't because when you move your head slightly, the perspective in the image doesn't change. Now, the company claims to be able to build 3D models from the 2D images, but I have yet to see a demo of that cutting edge technology.

Unfortunately, the site is just way too slow. It took 5+ minutes to drive down a small side street in Boston. If they can figure out how to speed up the movements, this would become a widely used service. This is a really fascinating concept. Unfortunately, the site is just way too slow.

De Ja vu!!! i think google needs to acquire this company soon .. they use a different method than what is used by google’s street view. the 360 degrees is fantastic and the movements between the pictures is like you are riding on the wind! the inside view is just crazy! imagine what would be available within few years… they can come to each house ..
