Mapjack: Google Street View Alternative
MapJack is an effort similar to Google’s Street View to capture street-level imagery. The site only has imagery from San Francisco (US), Sausalito (US) Lake Tahoe (US), Yosemite(US) and Chiang Mai (Thailand), The striking feature is the image quality that MapJack provides. You can fine tune the image quality or adjust its sharpness, brightness, etc..
For now it is just a exercise of style and technology with a very small sample of imagery. The company has developed its own technology to gather imagery which also works in walking areas, not just on the streets. "We developed an array of proprietary electronics, hardware and software tools that enable us to capture an entire city’s streets with relative ease and excellent image quality. We have a complete low-cost scalable system encompassing the entire work-flow process needed for Immersive Street-Side Imagery, from picture gathering to post-processing to assembling on a Website."
