They're surely not transmitting LIDAR 3D data to the Street View Flash viewer. I wonder what the minimum would be for this effect. I doubt that "steps" (a return to a horizontal patch once it's switched to vertical) are handled, so perhaps just a small set of horizon angular offsets for each Street View viewpoint is sufficient, each one given a heading and an elevation, the latter being where to start verticality, the elevation to use for any Street View heading being interpolated in the viewer. - L _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
