Google Street View Hyperlapse
Wed, 10 Apr 2013
Hyper-lapse photography β a technique combining time-lapse photography and sweeping camera movements – is a growing trend at the mo and the good folks at Teehan+Lax Labs have developed an open-source tool to make such videos through Google Street View. Totally cool and definitely something to check out and have a play around with.
