Very cool! Here's a tutorial from Sebastian Lague on implementing something similar in Unity, which may have served as inspiration for this project: https://youtu.be/sLqXFF8mlEU

I think the inspiration was the release of a new Google API last week along with support for it via Cesium's Unity and Unreal plugins.

Yeah. Sebastian Lague's game videos are great because of the way he walks through his steps & methodology, but wrt his geographic implementations it's not how you would approach this problem for this level of granularity.

By the way, Google Earth VR (2016) provides a similar experience but in virtual reality. Seing 3D graphics with depth improves a lot the experience. You also have some nice features such as the possibility to grab the sky to rotate the sunlight. This demo looks nice though. The post processing has nice colours, though the fake chromatic aberrations may be a bit high.

To this day this is the best experience I had in VR by far. I spent hours roaming the earth, it's truly amazing. It's sad that Google is massively underutilizing this asset.

For the OP:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to nilsbakker.nl. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

And:

$ curl https://nilsbakker.nl/portfolio/3d-tiles/ curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self-signed certificate More details here: https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above. (hf-course-3.9.13)

No problems here, it displays as a "Let's encrypt" certificate.

These are the fields on the certificate that's being presented to me:

emailAddress = root@dns-redirect001.axc.nl, CN = dns-redirect001.axc.nl, OU = SomeOrganizationalUnit, O = SomeOrganization, L = SomeCity, ST = SomeState, C = --

A self-signed certificate that expired on 6/11/19, 4:35:46 PM GMT+2

It's probably been taken down.

I'm getting an error as well, although not a self-signed error. I'm getting a mismatched domain error.
