Competitor appeared

  It is bad news found on 11 March 2010. Google launched its street view mode on Google Map in Hong Kong. Now, people can just do a virtual tour in Google Map for most of the streets in Hong Kong. It is sure that the King’s Road is also appeared in it. It is very powerful while you cannot find any big errors on the binary of the images that combined. It just totally powerful than my work although it is a tool but not an artwork.

Then, how about my work? The images that I combined at that time is just a collage which pasting the photos together. It is not perfect as the concern of the perspective of the photos. Now the Google one is just nearly perfect. Then, how about my work?

Also, for my web version, the advantage is only the part of moving images. But, it can just include small number of video due to technical issues mentioned before. If it is animation, it is still got some problems for the moving elements. In the view of the still images only, my image is just totally worse than the Google Map as poor linkage. Then, how about my project?
