- Google plans to use trucks equipped with lasers and digital photographic equipment to create a realistic 3D online version of San Francisco, and eventually other major US cities.
The move would trump Amazon's A9 service, which offers two-dimensional photos of buildings on US city streets.
Update: Brad Hill has a post with links to details of how all this works, including pictures and a technical paper (PDF).
Update: Danny Sullivan points out that Google's Keyhole software already does 3D city maps.
