Aboriginal View

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

The actual implementation of Muru View is frustrating in addition to inspiring inward equal measure. I honey the implementation of 3d text on operate past times of Google's 360 marking panoramic imagery. There is something magical inward watching the 3d Aboriginal (& English linguistic communication translation) place-names spin roughly every minute you lot rotate the Street View image.

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