Lots of " Nice Stuff " about the Future of Nearmap

What most excites Soukup, however, is a new feature that Nearmap plans to roll out by the spring of 2018.
“The wave of the future is in what we call 4-D, but it’s 3-D plus time,” Quigley said. “3-D imagery is (where) you can create a virtual world with all those pixels in the ground, and you derive that based off all the photos you’ve taken.”
Nearmap says it will release access to 3-D models of 68 major cities that allow users to swoop around to-scale replicas of major metropolises.

The technology behind this endeavor is still relatively new, and Nearmap believes its newest venture will not only continue to affect the industries already using the imagery but emerging industries as well, including autonomous cars and drone delivery.
“With any of that technology, you’ve gotta have an updated map with great detail of understanding what’s going on in the road,” Quigley said. “Where are the turns? How far are the curbs away? All those featured distractions and route detection … (need) spatial data.”
And Nearmap plans on providing it.
