Giant zoomable panoramic pic of Tokyo

Give it a little while to load. It's pretty cool.


" This is a 150-gigapixel image shot from the top of the Tokyo Tower. It was shot in September 2012"

Tokyo

Interesting. This may turn out quite entertaining. Because Japan and open curtains on the windows. Thank you.


NSFW I told you. See? NSFW

That is just so damned cool. I knew it was going to be good, but not that good. I could stare in to it night.

Thanks, OP.

i have seen one person sleeping on the floor at the park Near the Volkswagen sign.

Or could be dead

It's kinda creepy how few people can actually be seen in this image. This IS Tokyo right?

I cannot actually see the image. When I click the link, it takes me to the page that is supposed to have the image on it, but the image does not load. I left it for 15min to see if it would display, and it failed to do so. Should I have left it longer?

It should load within a few seconds. Try clicking on the "REWIND" icon at the lower left of the photo. It's the icon with two arrows:

You're right. I'm looking at apartment\hotel balconies and not seeing anyone. Pretty deserted.

Ah! Thank you, that did the trick.

Its a lovely thing to just scan around and check out the buildings. Apart from the signage, this could be any major city on the planet, judging from the architecture, aside from a couple of examples of the more traditional traditional styles of Japan, and of course, the graveyard, which it seems to me, couldnt be mistaken for that of any other nation.

There are a couple of glitches in this otherwise wonderful matrix, and I wish I understood screen grabbing and so on, because I would love to point them out.

I will describe them however. There is a road, which points amost directly away from the point of veiw. On this road there is a man who appears to have become part of a car, a car whose rear axle appears to have melded with the road surface, and a car which seems to have lost everything to the rear of the bottom of its windscreen, and so is basically just a front axle and engine bay, with nothing on the back of it. The stitching process is obviously responsible for this.

Although, given the size of the image, I suppose it is to be expected. Still... offers the odd "what the hell?" moment!
