Aboriginal View


Muru View superimposes the master indigenous place-names of Australian locations on transcend of Google Maps Street View - inwards 3d! The application uses place-names used inwards historical surveys from the Royal Anthropological Society of Australasia to map the master indigenous place-names of locations inwards New South Wales. It superimposes the place-name labels for each of these locations on transcend of its Google Map's Street View.

The actual implementation of Muru View is frustrating together with inspiring inwards equal measure. I dear the implementation of 3d text on transcend of Google's 360 score panoramic imagery. There is something magical inwards watching the 3d Aboriginal (& English linguistic communication translation) place-names spin or together with thence equally you lot rotate the Street View image.

However navigating to private place-names on Muru View is incredibly frustrating. The solely agency to uncovering private place-names is to sit down patiently patch they all slow scroll past times you lot on your screen. I've no thought why Muru View doesn't bring an overall map view. This the world permit the user to navigate to the private place-names past times location, selecting them straight from the map.
