A proposed driving perspective through a carefully selected real-world area.
Go beyond the map.
An interactive virtual-driving experience.
Road is a concept for exploring real-world streets and city environments through an interactive driving-style experience. The vision is to make places feel explorable, not just viewable on a flat map. The technical approach, data rights, image sources, performance, and user demand must be validated before a wider build.
The opportunity
Maps are excellent at directions, but they do not always provide the feeling of moving through a place. Road explores whether an immersive street-level experience can make discovery more intuitive and engaging.
Potential points of interest and routes that help users explore an area.
Start with one small area to test realism, performance, and usability.
Help shape the first version.
The first technical milestone is a prototype of a small real-world area, with a clear review of imagery licensing, source availability, rendering performance, and user interest. This page describes a product direction; it is not a claim that a working service is available today.
