This is great. The camera roll is my favorite application.
One project that I’ve had in my mind for a while, but haven’t attempted yet, is to create a travel simulation based on Google street view pictures. For example, you pick a start and an end destination on a map, then the program plays a “video”, which is just a bunch of sequential street view images chained together in order from point A to point B.
I’ve wondered for a long time now why no game studios have developed any open world map game or exploring games - indie or big name studios -given that street view has existed for ten out or fifteen plus years now
Microsoft Flight Simulator lets you fly a plane anywhere in the world based on satellite images and 3D models of various cities.
I’d imagine that any other game studio would have trouble finding enough money to license the rights to satellite images or street view images from which they might build a world.
