Mapillary has released a nifty new 3D visualization tool online. Behind the scenes, the community-based mapping photo app has been using machine vision to stitch together its users' photos and 3D-construct every location its community photographs. The goal is to improve positioning of each photo beyond its GPS coordinates, but 3D navigation also provides an ethereal viewing experience.

Now, Mapillary is giving users the power to virtually explore their own photos like never before. Underlying 3D data can now be viewed by clicking the “show point clouds” option in the sidebar of a web browser. Full support for panoramas has also been added, enabling users to move seamlessly between regular photos and panoramas in 3D, giving them a smooth and other-worldly viewing experience.
