Google's Liquid Galaxy
Apparently, some Google programmers are still devoting their own project one working day a week (who said that the “20% rule” was canceled during the crisis). How else to explain the appearance of Liquid Galaxy ?
Cabin with eight vertical screens located around the perimeter. They broadcast photos from Google Street View and Google Earth geoservices, like a circular panorama, and you can “travel” in any direction.
In the photo above, the booth is ajar, in reality, it surrounds the person from all sides and creates a realistic effect of presence. To rate it, see the video below, shot at the June Google I / O conference, where the eight-screen cockpit was shown under the old name The Holodeck (the so-called teleporting booth on the Star Trek series).

The viewer seems to be transferred to the road and gets inside the car Immersive Media . As you know, these are the cars that take pictures for Street View, using high-resolution panoramic cameras.
That is, to create a panoramic picture is not difficult if all the raw materials are in finished form.
But the project is not limited to Street View. In July, a modified version of the Google Earth client was created, which can synchronize the image on several computers. Thus, in the cabin of Liquid Galaxy it became possible to "fly" around the world, even to the Moon and Mars.
