Google Building Maker
Nouvel épisode de l’économie de la participation version Google. Ou pourquoi se casser la tête quand on peut retirer les bénéfices d’un travail que l’on a fait faire gratuitement par les internautes :
We like to think of Building Maker as a cross between Google Maps and a gigantic bin of building blocks. Basically, you pick a building and construct a model of it using aerial photos and simple 3D shapes – both of which we provide. When you’re done, we take a look at your model. If it looks right, and if a better model doesn’t already exist, we add it to the 3D Buildings layer in Google Earth. You can make a whole building in a few minutes.
