I have seen this elsewhere.
I don't know what they call it.
Please help me (google and bing weren't smart enough)
This is the description of what I'm trying to name...
- A guy goes into an empty apartment
- He has some sort of weird upside-down looking camera
- It has some sort of weird reverse-mirror-fish-eye lens (Sorry, that's my best description)
- The guy sets the timer, and gets out of the room.
- The camera takes the picture
- He does that for every room in the apartment (remember, the place is empty)
- He then sends all those picture files to headquarters
- Back at HQ, a nerd takes those files and fiddles with them in software
- With enough nerd magic, a realistic, reasonably accurate, 3D presentation of the entire apartment is created
- Click click, cut, paste, FTP, blah blah blah
- Ta-Da, Website visitors can look at the apartment with a 3D 360 degree movie screen view
What is the name of the process I have just described ?

It's a "360 panorama". See this[^] link.

Thanks, but not quite it. What I've seen is a display where you actually scroll a 360 degree view.

That could be it. Yes, I think it is. I'll look some more. Thanks for the brain cells

I'd call the process geospatial mapping, and the outcome an on-line virtual-3d rendering. Not clear if what would be displayed on-line is a video. Are you seeking a name for a video about the process of geospatial mapping ?

No, not really. It is a video display, of sorts. You can pan left and right, and it actually looks like you're looking through a video camera.

I think this process falls under the 'Photogrammetry' domain. At least that is the terms that appears to be being used with the likes of PhotoSynth and Autocad etc.

Not quite, but that gives me some great marketing ideas.

Sounds like a submission to this site[^].

Way off base. The ones I've seen were pretty spiffy stuff.
Can't seem to find them today.
I'm guessing the bandwidth dragon killed the business model.

There are plenty of other neat tricks like this as well.

Making it like XP is a neat trick? It should be better than XP on its own.

Sorry, the link had an auto play noisy video so I closed before reading. Was there anything interesting?

My browser does not allow this, so I did not notice.
In a nutshell:
GodMode. The mere mention of the omnipotence-granting tweak should bring a smile to the face of veteran Windows tinkerers, and yes, the legendary hidden feature still works in the Windows 10 Preview.
GodMode essentially unlocks a centralized table of contents for all of Windows’ far-flung features and customization options, drawing all your options together into a single interface and sorting them by tweak types. Once you’ve basked in its glory, you’ll be hooked for life.
Activating it is easy: Just create a new folder and rename it to following:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Or they could just call it, "General Table of Contents"; since it does not grant you any special powers.
|
|

Exactly.
The irony here is high : Having such a "general table of contents" is precisely what everybody with a bit of organisation feeling would do if they were assigned the task to guide the user. Instead of that, the operating system clusters all the settings in a zillion different places, and then creates a back door for accessing the overview and names it "God Mode", as if you'd need any kind of super power to be able to handle a table of content.

And, if I may add, God mode is for me associated to IDDAD*, IDKFQ, and, if really needed, IDCLIP.
