+labs wanted to make the entire hyperlapse process easier and began by sourcing images from Google Street View.ĭeveloped by motion designer Jonas Naimark, he began by thinking that Street View could only be used as an aid, but he quickly found that it could be used as a primary source material. However, such videos are tedious to construct, requiring hours upon hours of stitching together images taken from meticulously mapped areas.
The idea isn’t new and can be seen in great abundance on sites such as Vimeo. Hyper-lapse photography is a technique of putting together time-lapse and large, sweeping camera motions that are usually focused around a single point-of-interest. Recently, +labs, a division of Teehan+Lax, a Canada-based technology design agency, released Google Street View Hyperlapse that allows you to create videos of your favorite routes around the world. And you don’t even have to leave your living room in this latest armchair geography contribution. Have you ever dreamt of taking a long road trip? Have you ever thought about touring the metropolis’ of New York, Hong Kong, and London, or simply taking a leisurely drive through the Alps? Now, you can.
