Use Google Map's Street View As Background

Want to play Chess in Akihabara or out in Bondi Beach in minutes, well now you can with my guide

What you need

• An OS that can use Windows x86 programs.
  
• StreetView Grabber (Download link: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=50248)
  
• A website to host your photos (I recommend Dropbox as it's easy to replace the file with out any dramas)
  
• A photo editing program what allows you to flip the picture horizontally. (You can use builtin Paint program from Microsoft or Photoshop

The Steps

4. Click on" Add Pano", prees "Yes" on clipboard popup and then press "Grab!" button.

5. Go to your output folder & use a photo editing program to flip the picture horizontally since the downloaded photo is mirrored. (By default, the output folder is within StreetView Grabber folder.)

Nice

well, Bouma, seeing as how custom backgrounds are applied to a circle, which is especially noticeable in vr (or if you just move the camera really far out in screen mode) you'll see a dark, empty void. And you also see that some parts aren't getting larger as they would in real life. So, it's more or less the same as putting a photo of a beach over your windows at home.

I'm curious what the experience is like in VR. Anybody try this yet?

This is goddamned brilliant!!!

For anyone struggling to host this on a website or whatever, if you use the custom background option in TTS, you can just point to the file itself on your computer ie C:\Users\yourusernamehere\Desktop\whateverthefilenameis.jpg and it'll work.

I couldn't get this method to work on indoor locations, so I ended up using istreetview [istreetview.com].

Still works like a charm! Thanks!
