Funny to see this as well as the Gaussian splat cathedral on the HN front page at the same time.
While the Gaussian splat is impressive, I kinda still dig the wireframe…

Re: Shinjuku Station in 3D
#33They're connecting Tokyo and Nihonbashi stations underground which will effective connect 10 stations in total with underground passages so that would be another interesting 3d map Also, that map seems incomplete by at least a 3rd. The connection between it and Shinjuku-3-chome station is missing (the hallways just arbitrarily stop on that map) and the tunnels from there to the south entrance of Shinjuku station are…
Looks like the cutoff is from the source governmental data. It's also missing Tochoumae and Nishishinjuku, even though it has Shinjuku-nishiguchi and Seibu Shinjuku.

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
Please don't do this. The station is very busy and the commuters do not have time to navigate around people focused on their smartphones. Instead, familiarize yourself with the general layout. There's no need to memorize the entire map, only the portion you will be using. Inside the station there are plenty of signs overhead and even on the floor to help navigate.
The signs are incredibly confusing and often will all point to each other from every direction.
No they aren't. People who say this have never spent a significant amount of time there.

anyone who hasn't been lost in Shinjuku-eki has not been to Shinjuku-eki. Or has been, but it was Golden Week and the place was nearly empty.

#38This is an excellent visualization! I would love to see someone adapt this data into a first-person navigation game. The game should put you at some location in the station complex and ask you to navigate to some location. This would be excellent training for people visiting the real-life Shinjuku station for the first time.
I thought the horror game "Exit 8" was going to be like that when I bought it: having to navigate through a labyrinthine nightmare version of Shinjuku or Shibuya station, trying to remember the passageways and —hey wait... was that escalator there before?
Turns out is was the opposite since the whole game takes place in a single hallway. It was still a lot of fun though!

Shinjuku isn't the worst - it's big, but every part of it has its own distinct feel, you never get confused about where you are. I actually think Ikebukuro is the worst - there are too many places where you can rotate 180 degrees, or move up or down a floor, and find yourself looking at an exactly identical scene.
Re: Shinjuku Station in 3D
#40very cool project. would you create more of this for other stations in Tokyo? or other famous stations on different cities
