An interesting post from Tim who is a GeoWeb 2006 in Vancouver. Great new blog by the way..

Tim notes comments from Microsoft about their plans to create 3D city models in a “different” way to Google. Just speculating but maybe the different approach its something to do with the fact that Microsoft also own a gaming platform ?

To see pixels from photos sprinkled around a 3D world is wonderful, very impressive, truly new. They are not yet telling people how much metadata each photo needs: just a rough lat/long at one end of the scale, or a highly accurate orientation model at the other.

Reminds me of my own SnapMap: http://www.snapmap.com/
