I visited the valley of the kings ten years ago. This is a really good recreation: before I went I had no idea how well preserved the paintings in some of the tombs were. It's an amazing place to visit.

Not sure i'd be volunteering to put a tripod down all over the place!
Could probably be done with some sort of drone rig.
I think it would depend what sort of penetration you're after.
It was not possible to work with robots in/around the reactor in the immediate aftermath of the accident -- the robots would fail due to exposure to the radiation. It's quite possible that technology still hasn't advanced far enough to allow for the in-depth exploration that would be required to achieve anything like the linked example.
I'd be curious to know if anyone knows more about recent attempts and the state of the art of hardening robots, drones, computers, etc. against radiation.

#23If you are interested, I am trying to build an open source database for places with virtual tour.

I am currently working on this alone. Anyone interested is welcome to help :)

Re: Virtual tour of the tomb of Pharaoh Ramses VI
#25Doubly impressive: there are spots you can visit in the vtour, that you cannot see in real life because they're outside the pedestrian walkway. Example: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NXdDoDTnNXJgkr8X9
I'm sure the guards there would encourage you have the privilege of a view from off the pedestrian walkway for a tip.
> guards would allow you to go off the pedestrian walkway for a tip
Actually, no. The guards (in the Valley anyway) take their jobs very seriously and have seen it all... you'll get unceremoniously removed for trying to break a rule.

Super cool, can you explain a bit how you make these?

Oh my. Thank you for finding these. I would pay a fair bit of money to have a docent of some sort take me around these places in VR. I can't actually visit Egypt anytime soon.
Agreed: it is amazing to just have these in 3D.
However as someone who doesn't know much about ancient Egypt it would be spectacular to have some kind of annotations or guide to explain what we are seeing.

Awesome - thanks for this and your work! I'd love to hear a bit more about the production of these sort of things (any "behind the scenes" info etc) if you have any interesting stories and time to share them here ... I am sure I would not be alone :-)

#30Beautiful! I had this same system shown to me for a couple of houses I was looking at buying last year, the real estate agent had these photos taken in the house and stitched together this way with a dolls house view too. Very useful for that kind of application.
Combined with VR glasses it would be a great way to preview things like furniture/new kitchen layouts in somewhere like Ikea or paint colours in a hardware store.
