ive been watching "Old Enough" on netflix and totally blown away by some of the village cities. Such incredible mountains and super lush greenery. Need to go back!
Incredible work! I commented on the last video that it was chugging on my M2 MacBook Air, but the new update is flying in comparison. Shinjuku is still a little slower than, eg, Akiruno City, but I think that just has to do with the density of geometry available in Shinjuku's downtown. Very excited to keep seeing your progress, and encouraged by what three.js can do!
Thanks for the retest! Yeah, exciting times with browser features finally advancing. Also, Cloudflare not charging for egress bandwidth is a game changer.
Thats fun, glad the other wards got added. My wife and i went to japan for our honeymoon a few months ago, but didnt spend a ton of time in shinjuku so we couldnt recognize much. But now with all the wards added were flying around and being like "oh thats where this thing was!" And retracing some of our steps looking at landmarks we recognize
If there's one suggestion I have, it would be to add a maximum render distance. My PC can render few chunks on the ultra setting fine, but I have to look at the ground as to not render too many chunks at once. If I look up, I freeze. A maximum render distance would allow examining a smaller part of the map at the higher resolutions.
Nice demo. The rectangle is probably pumped hydro energy storage. I'd love to explore this dataset in VR, the Google Earth one has too many messed up polys in some areas
Thanks! I will have some improvements up soon for the loading/unloading, I will be prioritizing the lowest LOD requests, as well as just keeping the lowest lod point data in memory and letting frustum culling take care of it.
Since this is a point cloud, can it be used to make gaussian splats? Or at least something similar when manipulating the points? (also sorry for bad english as it is not my main language)
Don’t worry your english is perfect! Yes I will be looking into gaussian splats. One thing I also want is editable worlds where players can add/remove material
I'll see what I can find in that area. This is the complete point data. But for their digital twin project they also have low poly meshes for all their buildings and some textures. At the moment I only know about Google and Mapillary for street level images.
Yeah, mainly the breakthrough is the cloud provider Cloudflare which just doesn't charge for bandwidth. Traditionally, something like this would be a bit expensive and only accessible to organizations
Really impressed with your commitment to shipping these functional demos. We’re lucky to have such a prolific dev working on browser renderings!

That's awesome to hear!
Reminds mee of impressionist paintings, beautiful and impressive!
The 2d map view would be awesome! This is so cool! I am glad I randomly got recommended this :)
A skybox would be nice. Does it give you the angle of the sun?
Yeah I think I did see timestamps in the files.
I love this. Thank you for helping me explore Tokyo. It really is beautiful.

I've added a distance setting :)
excellent!

Thanks! I will try to get this over to VR soon.
@@GrantKot Oohhh exciting
Very very nice!
Infinite farplane would be good for this. Rotating the camera in places like Okutama is a bit distracting otherwise.

Does this point cloud dataset also have images? I wonder if this data could be used for large scale gaussian splatting research.

This is BONKERS like WHAT HOW
We have the technology to do this?? As a WEBSITE???
This is black magic
i mean tbf google earth already exists, data storage is proper magic these days
