There are many YouTube channels walking through cities as the movement and sound add more to the atmosphere than street-view like experiences. I also happen to cover Prague many times like [1] in 2020 without many tourists.
One thing I started a few years is multicam walks. This means that I carry some 4-6 Osmo Pockets to actually film in several directions simultaneaously - example: Dresden [2].
The editing process is taking multiple hours so I have hundreds of unreleased recordings. If someone has a hint on AI assisted multicam editing, where to start (like better gaze prediction etc. from VR) I'd be interested - especially feeding all camera streams and let a NN decide the best camera angle and cuts to be between 4-11s?
Is it possible to stitch your footage into a 360 projection? If so, you could definitely upload it as either 180 or 360 degree video, which would allow for VR use cases as well.
After I posted the item I realized that there was no link and it's one of those "email us for access to the data" deals. Which I think is a mistake on their part. Nevertheless this is a great project and I wish there was more of this kind of work out there.
Maybe it's time to start an open source effort to do something similar in some corner of the world? You'd need access to the mapping camera hardware, obviously. Who would be willing to fund it?
He probably ruined the idea of a lot more places before his first trip to Prague in 2011. Politicians really ought to retire from politics far earlier than before their 45th year in any sort of assembly.

So how do we explore? Is there a link somewhere in the article?

Hate that I can't put this on wiki commons because of the non-commercial license.
Especially without link in the article
crazy! wont be too long until this is here for major cities as well.
Prague is the capital of Czech Republic and has over 1.3 million inhabitants, so I'd say it qualifies as a "major city"
Ray Holmberg ruined the idea of Prague for me

Do you think that it doesn’t happen in other cities?
Wow, driving in the pedestrian zone around Staromák is bad enough already, but they also happily post pictures. Not okay.
Holy shit!
