Google has launched its first user-generated version of Street View, which maps geolocated images in a 3D space and allows for virtual walk-throughs with impressive imagery.
As reported over on GigaOM,the new layer allows users to upload two-dimensional photographs and place them within a three-dimensional space – creating a 3D panorama of the area with far higher resolution and quality than that available from the standard Street View service.
The idea isn’t new: back in 2006 Microsoft unveiled its Silverlight-based 2D-to-3D photo manipulation system Photosynth, which works in much the same way: taking images uploaded by individuals and placing them within a collaborative space to create a fully immersive – if slightly herky-jerky – 3D panorama.
