What if you could not only do a visual flyover of Richmond from your computer, but were able to virtually duck into your favorite shops and restaurants to get a down-low lay of the land? That's the idea behind EveryScape, and as the folks at Discover Richmond note, they are looking for 15 cities to feature. Why not get off your duff and vote for Richmond so people around the world can see the interior of Mayor Wilder's office, 24 hours a day:
EveryScape, Inc. wants to hear the people’s voice. It is seeking votes for “The People’s World Project” to build the 3D Web. By enlisting the contributions of consumers around the world, EveryScape is creating the first interactive eye-level experience that offers Web users a completely immersive, 3D world online. By the end of 2007, EveryScape plans to launch 10 metropolitan areas, five of which will be determined by the community’s vote. In addition, EveryScape plans to build 15 additional towns, which will also be determined by the people. You can cast your vote at http://www.everyscape.com. Voting opens today and closes August 31. The winning communities will be announced in early September.
To help fulfill its vision of building out the world in 3D, EveryScape is also looking for local “Scape Artists” to join the movement. EveryScape’s highly scalable approach enables almost anyone to capture the photos needed to build any geographic location – with minimal training. These images are captured using standard digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras, and are then uploaded to EveryScape for processing. Scape Artists have the opportunity to share the places, things and experiences that are part of their communities, which when combined with the work of fellow Scape Artists, contribute to the building of the People’s World.
