Sometimes Google screw up their own street view

Wingman

2

8 daysWingman (1738): It seems that the biggest mistake of Google there was that their camera was mounted too low and a Google guy's baseball hat covered most of the front view. I believe they have been trying to erase the hat from pictures and it has not worked well. You can see on some pictures a shadow on a ground where their camera is basically looking at the back of the hat and is shown slightly above it.

The cheapest one will be Insta360 OneX but if you can invest in Pilot One EE you will get much better resolution. When you submit...

1 yearWingman (1738): Pano2VR should have that functionality. Never used it in Pano2VR but used to get a model with multiple floors to load from GSV into Pano2VR. Then after some changes I reuploaded it back and all floors were left unchanged. I believe they are done through labels in Pano2VR Street View submission form. If it is critical, I can check how it is written there for floors. And I am sure there should be a tutorial about it.

Given that the Google Street View API is still in Beta - and not likely to be out of Beta until September 2017 (IMHO), it's likely that all Cameras that are dependent on the Google API will not be released until September 2017, at the earliest. @Metroplex360 No demo during the presentation. I do not recall if NCTech was showing content created with the iSTAR Pulsar in their exhibit floor space. Dan
