I may be biaised but I believe this "tour" is not good. Not immersive enough. Just not really something we want as client. - The moving/walking part is just bad. Even Matterport does much better with its technology. - The zooming-on-painting part is good though. The point : I am building a much more immersive technology . Here is an small example. https://free-visit.net/fr/demo01 If you like this visit, and if you kn…

Thanks faloon for the link. It's the best 'fuid'virtual visit I have seen in recent months. Gaussian Splatting algorythm seems to be the 'game changer' thing in VR we were waiting for.... This is fantastic times in this area. what a time to be alive !

For anyone planning a visit to Spain, I can't recommend Madrid highly enough. I wasn't sure what to expect from the city, but it might be my favorite I've ever been to. Madrid is beautiful, clean, walkable, and very welcoming. The food was all amazing and it seemed like we never had to wait for a table. I had a great time in Barcelona, but I'd recommend Madrid over Barcelona in a heartbeat.

Madrid is indeed very nice. Perfect destination in early spring or late autumn as winters are very short there. Avoid in the summer as it gets stupidly hot there. One reason I like it is that it's far away from the beaches and package tourists. It's a huge modern city. And there's plenty to see. I love the public parks there. There's a huge new park on top of the inner ring road which they partially covered up. Perfe…

> If you have time and a car, driving around Spain is very enjoyable. I've seen most of it's larger and smaller cities over the years

+1. But the train, specially being in Madrid, is a very good alternative to the car to travel around Spain.

Hot in the summer. Killer nightlife. It will not take a tourist long to figure out the point of siesta.

> The point of siesta Nobody takes siestas in Spain but the elderly, children and people without A/C in hot zones in summer, and I suppose in some rural towns as well.

That’s 80% of the country you’re describing there. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t do a siesta in summer, and elderly people continue throughout the year

I’m curious how you produce this? How could I make this for my house or neighborhood? Things like matterport seem too proprietary. This particular one seems to be a far higher quality as well. I’m curious what rig they used.

At my company we use https://aframe.io/ to display 360 images (e.g. https://aframe.io/examples/showcase/sky/), though the images themselves are produced from rendered models

No, your avg tech worker is not going to be making 15k/yr. Maybe around 40k/yr and that would be an "average" salary for a non-senior position.

What a weird take to defend tech salaries in Spain, I'd love to move but the very top salaries for my level cap around 80-90k EUR so it'd be quite a big drop even compared to the UK

Where do you read a defense of anything? This is not a "weird take", just a statement of a fact (may it be true or false): that the average is ~40k and not ~15k (it is currently illegal to pay less than 15.876 euros per year).

A much lesser known museum worth a visit in Madrid is the Sorolla museum[1]. I believe the museum was actually his house in Madrid.

Sorolla is the master of light. His paintings are stunning[2]

There are several virtual tours available online [3]

As the other comment said, it is not a defense

But be aware that the London salaries upper tail is wider, possibly brought up by the quant firms (which are a different kind of company than most are accustomed)

levels.fyi gives 112kE as the median and 200kE/90% for London vs around 60kE for the median and 90kE/90% (pretax for both)

What about Manzanares river.

Sure. It's kind of a creek like the Los Angeles river. The point is that the city of Madrid is not built around rivers (like NYC or London or Prague).

I get your point, but that's not exactly the case. Madrid is built there not by coincidence, there are a lot of underground rivers that cross the region, but then the city was built on top of them.

And about ruins, they are, but they are also hidden: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muralla_cristiana_de_Madrid

> I had a great time in Barcelona, but I'd recommend Madrid over Barcelona in a heartbeat. The trouble with Barcelona these days is the tourists have ruined it. Both the tourists themselves, and the city itself pandering to the tourists. I avoid the place like the plague these days.

Also worth mentioning the growing concern about security, which worsens each year: https://www.barcelona.cat/infobarcelona/en/tema/security-and...

Madrid: They don't have a river, a beach or ancient ruins. What they have is a living city and people who love it.

Ancient ruins? we have an Egiptian Temple near the Royal Palace https://maps.app.goo.gl/xUrFWZwBkuDCTE5W7
