“What about the inside?”
- Outside’s getting all the attention
- Inside is important and valuable

- Your valuable time We’re indoors most of the time for this conference. We’re indoor at home, indoor at work.
-
- POI quality Categorise it as indoors and outdoors, most of them are inside.
- WTF?
EveryScape has a platform to build their applications are, can separate outside and inside: Two lists of “Local search, travel, real estate” showing they apply to the outside and the inside.
“Just the outside is not enough…”
- We focus on eye-level visul representation - inside & outside
- Perceptual accuracy, not geometric accuracy - Visual Turing Test - Does it look like Boston, feel like Boston?

www.everyscape.com, go to Boston. Can look around a panorama. Clicking on an orange disk in the ground and you actually move. you then get to the “Cheers” bar, you can also go down the stairs and into the bar. Can leave a memo for his friend on a poster on the wall of “Red Sox”.
Showing another demo, inside a building. MIT corridor. It’s a 3D model. Very fast, seems native. Showing as a FPS game and have multiple people playing the game.
We need to answer the question “What about the inside?”
