Google Street View Panorama Viewer

Back


This is a preview of an advanced hardware accelerated viewer for the Google Street View panoramas, written in C++/OpenGL. The current Flash viewer, developed by Google, is aimed at showing a single panorama, which can be linked to others. I wanted to see if I could 'improve' on their viewer. The viewer is aimed at creating a truly surreal experience focusing on real-time ultra high quality playback, bringing the feel of a first person game to Google Street View. This software is written in C++/OpenGL, so it is considerably faster and produces high quality scenes than the Google Flash viewer. This is a demonstration tour of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco. The movie was recorded live (using SnagIt), so the playback speed has not been changed. Please ignore the red flickers; these are caused by a bug in the texture pager. Please note that this software is not endorsed by Google. All images are copyright Google 2007. Please leave your feedback!

Awesome. I've only just discovered streetview, and this looks like a great way to enhance the experience. Are you going to publish your creation?
