#63If 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?

I did come back today guys :-)
Worth the time too! I really wish Egypt were safer for single female travelers. Or just safer for travelers in general.

#65Doubly 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
Did you catch the beheaded bound people depicted at ground level around what I assume is a stone coffin?
Tried to research what the meaning / story is for these figures. My best guess with 10 minute googling is that they represent defeated enemies.

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).
Well, do you know where these shelves are? I'd be interested in photogrammetry software to reconstruct 3D models of environments, mostly to plan construction or aesthetic changes to buildings or surroundings. This is for home use, so I don't really need fancy texturing, etc. But having it reconstructed from a smartphone video feed would be a must. I looked for open source software a while back, but didn't really turn…
It's been a few years but in my photogrammetry days the open source options were very unfriendly to use -- either a command line utility lacking documentation or an extension for an outdated version of something else, and I never got a result I was happy with. it can take a couple of hours to process large photo sets and it's really frustrating to get a bad result.
For $180 (non commercial license) Agisoft Photoscan worked the first time and gave me lots of tools to get a good, meshed and textured result that I could export to other software for viewing.
Smart phone cameras are actually ideal because their tiny sensors give huge depth of field -- everything is in focus in every picture == happy stitching
EDIT: you'll be waiting a long time for alignment without GPU !

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…
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 :-)
Thanks, I'll get a blog together!

Super cool, can you explain a bit how you make these?
For the Matterport scans specifically, I used a Matterport Pro 2 camera here: https://matterport.com/cameras/pro2-3D-camera and for the photogrammetry, a capture process similar to this: https://medium.com/realities-io/getting-started-with-photogr... Writing up more details into a blog.
