Nice, but when you look up close things like this and Google Earth look like a post-apocalyptic scene :)

It would be amazing if they could also take user-generated photos and videos at ground level and accurate mapping data (that has building outlines) and clean that up to something presentable.

I mean, what they do here is what google and apple are already doing for years. It's time for the next step.

This is gaussian splatting. I'm pretty confident that google/apple have not done that.


Oh I didn't realise it was a different technique but the result is similarly bad when zoomed in :(
