This type of thing could pair really well with a sci-fi novel or open world sandbox style game. I was tossing around the idea of purchasing some high-res satellite photos of a large outdoor area, combining them with a topographical map of the area, and 3D-ifying it in a manner akin to Google Earth’s 3D mode. This would be to create a large San Andreas style game environment for a first-person VR ready experience. I don’t know if anyone is already doing that type of level design, or what limitations may exist, although I want to say Treyarch did that for COD3. Thought provoking article however, thank you.
