If you are interested, I am trying to build an open source database for places with virtual tour. Website: https://gez.la I am currently working on this alone. Anyone interested is welcome to help :) https://github.com/stfurkan/gez

Beautiful! Is it safe to assume you'll (eventually) add the links in this thread there?

This is amazing. Anyone knows how Matterport works? Does it extract the 3d meshes from 360 photos?

Seems like a combination of 360 photography and off-the-shelf photogrammetry algorithms. Don't know if there is some secret sauce needed (not obvious from the content that there would be).

There's Streetview in Pripyat [1] but not in the Nuclear plant itself apart from a handful of images [2]. [1] https://www.google.com/maps/@51.4065351,30.0580859,2a,60y,35... [2] https://www.google.com/maps/@51.3894109,30.0990984,3a,75y,16...

Well, I would like to see directly into the Nuclear plant itself please.

Probably not feasible as the radiation fries any circuit getting close. They tried to get a camera in many times, but never succeeded I think.

Thanks. I am searching them online. It take some time to find and add a new place but I hope it will worth the effort.

For some reason, I am getting motion sickness while clicking around. But it's really detailed and cool.

Thanks for posting these! I made a few of them. I'm glad people are enjoying them! To keep adding to the list, here's the set I worked on: Islamic Art History and Architecture: Bab Zuwayla gate, museum, and minaret: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=YZXMPtiuR9D ( http://arce.org/ ) Faraj Ibn Barquq Mosque: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=UCDj6MdbCes ( http://arce.org/ ) Aslam al Silahdar Mosque: https://my.matterpo…

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

Here is a review of one of systems that does this:

Why are parts of the tunnel blurred out? Censorship? Surely it isn't anything objectionable we wouldn't see on Wikipedia or Google Image search.

Censorship of educational material is unnecessary.

Edit: it appears to blur the textures immediately above on the y axis. Perhaps the software isn't correctly interpolating those values even though it has the data. I hope this is the case rather than the censorship I posited.

This is really cool, and I hope more things become accessible in this fashion.
