At the time I really thought that was going to be the next Street View.
Maybe with WebGL and Gaussian Splats that can still be the case. But it’s also a ZIRP kind of project. Awesome, but what’s the business model?
Thanks for the memory - definitely one of the coolest demos I'd ever seen.
Any idea how accurate the pitch was compared to the reality?
