At the same time, it’s also disappointing how far short of reality those cities are.

If you’ve been in a helicopter over a city, or looked at aerial photos, it’s obvious that there’s such a long way to go. Plus, only aerial is not very useful.

These virtual cities need to get to ground level and into the buildings before any of this becomes practically useful as a means of organising information in a geolocated sense.
