Rendering a panorama in polar co-ordinates a movie can be created to fly into a scene from above and then change the camera field of view to display the scene ‘as is’. It provides a unique view of the urban scene – but is it useful as a visualisation? Well, that’s debatable but it makes a neat movie…
The movie is embedded below via YouTube
This is a sample post to display movies in a blog via YouTube. Rather than add direct links to the movies already on the blog it is now possible to upload them into YouTube and embed them direct. This should get rid of the codec issues and allow them to be easily viewed…
The video above is the sample Lidar movie of London using raw laser point data. If this is an acceptable format we will upload the other movies in the blog…
We should also be able to get YouTube into Google Maps and down the line Google Earth, as soon as we get it running we will post a few samples and code.
Thoughts or comments would be great…

We are taking a slightly extended Easter Break but coming up over the next seven days are a series of new London Night Panoramas including the London Eye, new Lidar Movies and news on the forthcoming London model as well as a review of VTour by RealViz along with some sample movies.
Also on the horizon are a series of historic maps in Google Earth thanks to a new link up with the Birbeck Slide Library and finally those Fantasy Architecture models in Google Earth which are continuing to be tricky to convert…
Any thoughts or comments as always welcome as well as requests for content…
