This psychedelic visualization of a hotel was made with 10,000 photos
Picture a building, maybe even one that you know fairly well. Now picture how it looks from the inside. The more you think about it, the harder it is to get the full scope of the building, right? There’s no way to see all of its constituent parts without sawing the thing completely in half. Or, you could just let computers do the work.
That’s how a company called Oddviz created the psychedelic video you see above of the Sofa Hotel in Istanbul. Using a photography technique called photogrammetry, they were able to cohere every nook and cranny of each room into one complete visualization (and, if you don’t mind grinding your browser to a halt, interactive 3D model) of the hotel using nearly 10,000 photos.
