Update: sorry google maps 3d tiles aren't displaying! Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXS9sNcDLJU The Google Maps 3d Photorealistic Tiles are returning 429 Error too many requests Looks like will need to build in the ability for people to bring their own Google Maps API key. Fix up shortly

Hey defaulting to 2D map temporarily! 3d will work shortly

Okay back online in 3d

Incredibly brave of you to post something like this here. How are you monitoring and managing cost/token usage?

Thanks! The worst is the elevation API -- but yes, I monitored costs throughout today, it's not prohibitively expensive.

Prompt box does not show on mobile. I'm using brave on Android. Even when I request the desktop site it does not show it. But when I use brave on Mac it does show it. This was a confusing landing for me on a mobile device.

Thanks, this should be updated for a better landing on mobile

We used to do 3D virtual world work, and though I like where you're going with this, I think loading hi-res tiles, for your use-case, is not the right approach.

The direction we were trying to move with https://ayvri.com back in 2018 was to model the world from low-res imagery, and render higher-resolution views. At the time, the AI tech wasn't ready, but I think you can do this now. You don't need a prefect replica of the world, you want a convincing replica, so when you're drawing Tokyo, the architecture and elements in the scene match what would be expected.

Ayvri is impressive, and thanks for the feedback - I hear what you're saying about the convincing replica

I don't understand what it's supposed to do. I see clouds and a prompt entry. I type something in and it just gives me a text response about New York urban tourism...?

Here's a video -- the 3d map tiles quota was hit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXS9sNcDLJU Should be back shortly!

Ah, thanks, that video looks pretty cool!
