Very soon it will be possible to make a virtual trip on google maps around Yekaterinburg. Since the first place in Russia where Google began to implement its global project was this beautiful city.
Google is implementing a unique project for specialized photography of notable places in thirty countries around the world. 3D models of historical objects should look like in reality, as the quality of the shooting is highly accurate.
It was Yekaterinburg that became the first city in the Ural Federal District of the Russian Federation, where Google will carry out its plan, the essence of which is to photograph city streets, various objects of historical and cultural heritage. The goal is to plot panoramic views on interactive maps.
It is gratifying that the Russian city of Yekaterinburg has attracted the interest of company executives who are implementing their plans in such world famous cities as New York, Paris and Rome. The project will not only increase the attractiveness of the city, but also attract public attention to it from all over the world. Accordingly, the number of tourists who are interested in the culture and history of the Ural capital will increase.
Photo sessions for Google Street View will run until October 2012. The first panoramas of Yekaterinburg were made by Citiskanner several years ago. She did this without the help of the city administration. In 2010, the same company took pictures of panoramas for Yandex.
An additional Street View feature will be available on Google Maps, which will allow Internet users to take a virtual walk through various sites, including monuments and even hotels, using high-quality panoramic images. All specialized divisions of the Ural capital will assist in the implementation of the project. This was ordered by the city manager of the city of Yekaterinburg - Alexander Yakob.
Building models created in 3D will be available in any browser, provided that a special plug-in is installed. Then any user can go to maps.google.com and, by clicking on the Earth / Earth button in the map window, travel wherever he wants.
