Ogle this Awesome NYC 3D Rendering

2006_2_oglenyc.jpg

Those crazy cats from Eyebeam are at it again! Last week we talked about their awesome LED graffiti project, which we're hoping to see on the streets sometime soon. This week the eyecandy comes out of their OGLE project, which is a tool they've developed to capture 3D data in Windows. Once the data is captured, it can be turned into awesome renderings and then printed out on the futuristic 3D printer they have in the Eyebeam lab in Chelsea. The rendering above was drawn from map data (Google Earth?) and seems to be looking north from around 23rd Street. Look at the little Empire State Building! Sweet.

The technology behind is impressive but IMO, the The Panorama of the City of New York puts it to shame.
