Looking at Venezuela from above on google earth and there is no street view in southern Venezuela because of the Amazon rainforest. But there are quite a few labelled indigenous villages (I’m assuming), but when you zoom in there is no sign of any buildings, only the rainforest. So how are there multiple named locations with no traces of buildings/people? Is this just the given names of the indigenous area the government has given?

WorldLens VR, All-in-One Virtual Travel.

—

Hello y’all 👋

Ever since virtual reality made it possible for people to explore the entire world, users have wanted more. More immersion, more realism, a better representation of reality. I wanted it too.

For the past 3 years I’ve been working with the community to build the dream traveling experience in VR, combining all cutting-edge technologies and services into one seamless experience. And for the past year, WorldLens has slowly grown to become a top user choice. Being able to share my passion with the world (no pun intended) has truly been the greatest blessing of my life.

The next big thing has been clear to me for a long time: experiencing the hundreds of billions of panoramic images around the world in 6DoF 3D.

To make this leap possible I couldn’t rely on existing spatial data. Google uses LiDAR for street depth maps, but in the form of low resolution cube-shaped environment layouts. No terrain, no objects, nothing to really project on. It also wasn’t available for user-uploaded Community Imagery.

That is the main reason why you haven’t seen this concept come sooner.

AI was the only real way to bring this to life. However, tools were limited. To meet WorldLens’ standards, everything needed to run on standalone devices, even those with tight memory like the Quest 2, not just on more powerful platforms.

Breakthroughs made 3D generation scalable, capable of running on any VR device and compatible with all imagery types. v49 delivers the uncompressed, 8k imagery WorldLens is known for, but now faster, and with a new 3D mode.

v49 is a major update, check out the official update post for more details.

Note: This doesn’t refer to Google Earth 3D. 3D Street View is a separate feature, but both are available in WorldLens.

It is always my pleasure to listen and do my best to ensure you have the best possible experience, if you have feedback to share, just let me know!

Happy Earth Day! 🌍

I was scrolling google maps to find interesting places and stumbled across this unnamed reef(?). I'm not sure is this a reef or shoal, something else but I'm pretty curious to see it's name. Here are the coordinates: 16.0804878, 114.4565592

coordinates: 28°19'59.44"N, 96°25'47.43"W

just southwest of the Matagorda Island Lighthouse. The image is from 2013.

Found this almost perfect triangle hoping around the various islands and archipelagos in the area. There's an excellent spy plane shot from 1943 somewhere in google earth's history, but I've never been able to find the sweet spot and altitude to get it to appear again after the first time.

I had a little trouble figuring out the name but once I did I found it had a page on wikipedia with a few more pics. Which is where I found the third, taken during an attack on August 31, 1943, and the fourth, from 1975.

Near Lovettville VA. I'm assuming part of Mount Weather but couldn't find verification.

Hey, I found these in the middle of the South China Sea:

Fish ? (16.0774469, 114.4308904)

Boat ? (16.0779569, 114.4261489)

What are you thoughts on what they really are?

The markings show the remains of camp grounds build around a motorsport event, a hillclimb up that "Big Red Sand Dune"

Photos taken on Google Earth. Dated 11th of April 2010 (one day after the crash). I have reuploaded the post, because you couldn't see the photos due to some Reddit server troubles.
