Earthmine, indexing reality.

By unitzeroone

Berkeley-based Earthmine, has first unveiled their 3D mapping system to the world at the DEMOfall 2007 conference. Their vehicles take high resolution imagery whilst surveying the entire surroundings in 3D. This awesome dataset opens up a whole world of possibilities in the world of geo spatial indexing.

To unlock this data to the public, for front-end technology they chose the Flash Platform, in combination with Papervision3D. This allows them to enable anyone to access high resolution 3D datasets, and tag, navigate, measure, take pictures, and lots more.

 See the videos, and read more about the development at unitzeroone.

    Not directly related to this post, but I wanted to notify that the Papervision Wiki appears to have been hacked by spammers. See for example:
